About Us

From Shakespeare to Dickens, whether Wilde or the work of Elizabeth Gaskell, the Art of a Good Ghost Story has always remained cemented between the walls and corridors of stately homes, old English towns and their darkened alleys, gluing together generations around the dying embers of the fire before bedtime and lights out!

Our Mission in this Life (and the next) is to Deliver the Shiver!  To Stop Time, Suspend Disbelief and Live for 90 minutes, Perhaps a Little Longer, Together, in the Eternal NOW!

Regenerative Tourism

Through Shiverpool Community Spirit CIC, the company increasingly invests time, resources and expertise back into the places and communities that make the experiences possible.

The company works with Liverpool City Council and the Friends of St James’ Garden on the preservation, protection and promotion of St James’. This includes physical cleaning, conservation and improving public access.

An important part of the company’s work is helping to open up, restore and reactivate abandoned, disused or inaccessible heritage assets for public benefit.

Biodiversity is also becoming part of the visitor experience. In 2026 the team worked alongside LCC, the Friends of St James’ Cemetery and a bat expert, to deliver the first Bat Walk of St James’ Cemetery Garden.

Using Liverpool’s existing streets, architecture and heritage spaces. The tours and digital content promote local pubs, theatres, historic buildings, green spaces and cultural organisations.

Investment locally utilises Merseyside performers, freelancers, designers, creatives and suppliers for performance, costumes, literature and merchandise. Through the CIC and partnerships, targeted heritage activity also reaches schools, universities, youth groups, charities, housing associations and independent-living communities.
