Family-friendly historical ghost walks and sit-down ghost talks with Jerome the Gravekeeper, rotating through Wolfville, Kentville, Windsor, Halls Harbour, and Grand Pré. Late May through early November, select Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays at 7:45 PM. 19th season in 2026.
Features & Highlights
Detailed Information
Valley Ghost Walks offers family-friendly historical ghost walks and sit-down ghost talks led by the beloved character Jerome the Gravekeeper. Now in its 19th season, the company has entertained over 13,700 attendees across 444 shows since 2007 — a track record that has made Jerome a genuine Annapolis Valley institution and one of the most reliably entertaining evenings in the region.
The format is theatre as much as tour. Jerome the Gravekeeper, in character and costume, leads groups through the graveyards and streets of Wolfville, Kentville, Windsor, Halls Harbour, and Grand-Pré, telling stories rooted in the Valley's real history — Loyalist-era tragedies, shipwrecks, fires, and the odd unexplained event — with comic timing that keeps the tone fun rather than frightening. Walks rotate through the five communities from late May through early November (the 2026 season runs May 28 through at least November 7), typically on select Thursday, Friday and Saturday evenings at 7:45 p.m., and the schedule for each town is posted on the official site at the start of the season. The sit-down "ghost talk" format brings the same storytelling indoors for groups and venues.
Planning Your Walk
Tickets
Cash-only at the gate: $25 for adults, $20 for students. Arrive 10-15 minutes early; walks leave on time and groups cap at a manageable size for storytelling.
Age guidance
Suitable for ages 10 and up. The content is historical and atmospheric rather than gory, but younger children may find the graveyard setting and the dark more unsettling than the stories themselves.
What to bring
Comfortable walking shoes and weather-appropriate clothing — the walks run in all but dangerous weather, and Valley evenings cool off quickly even in summer.
Pairing it with your trip
Wolfville walks pair naturally with a dinner in town and the Good Cheer Trail & Wine Country guide; a Grand-Pré walk is a fitting evening follow-up to a daytime visit to the Grand-Pré UNESCO Site. Private bookings are available year-round for groups and special events — contact 902-692-8546.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Valley Ghost Walk?
A family-friendly historical walk led by Jerome the Gravekeeper, a costumed character who takes groups through the graveyards and streets of five Annapolis Valley communities telling stories rooted in real local history, from Loyalist-era tragedies to shipwrecks, fires and the odd unexplained event, all delivered with comic timing that keeps the tone fun rather than frightening.
Which towns host walks?
Wolfville, Kentville, Windsor, Halls Harbour and Grand-Pré, on a rotating schedule. Each town's dates are posted on the official site at the start of the season, and walks typically run select Thursday, Friday and Saturday evenings at 7:45 p.m.
How much do tickets cost?
Twenty-five dollars for adults and twenty for students, cash-only at the gate. Arrive 10 to 15 minutes early, because walks leave on time and group sizes are capped at a manageable number for storytelling.

The guidance is ages 10 and up. The content is historical and atmospheric rather than gory, but younger children may find the graveyard setting and the dark more unsettling than the stories themselves.
What should I bring?
Comfortable walking shoes and weather-appropriate clothing. Walks run in all but dangerous weather, and Annapolis Valley evenings cool off quickly even in summer, so a layer is always wise.
