Is Preston Manor the most haunted building in Brighton?
Tales of ghostly sightings and supernatural experiences at Preston Manor go back through history, including Sister Agnes, the medieval nun who helped travellers on their way; a body buried under the patio; a disembodied hand floating by a four-poster bed; and the elegant Lady in Black who descends the grand staircase with nowhere to go. The reports continue with modern day sightings of non-existent visitors, doors locking themselves and lights turning off for no reason.

Join our guide on a tour that explores the Manor’s ghostly past (and present). Visit to neighbouring 13th Century St Peter’s church included (weather permitting)
