Spice Island

It is 1813… and England is at War! Join us for an evening as we take you into a dark underworld of smugglers, pirates and prostitutes. Every street in Spice Island was full of Ale Houses, 'Cat' Houses and Chapels, but amongst these narrow streets rival gangs would compete for the trade of the thousands of sailors disembarking every week. You will hear dark stories of history that lie hidden beneath the tourist streets of Portsmouth, stories of what happened to some of these sailors before they disappeared forever. The tour lasts approximately 1 - 1.5 hours and involves interaction with actors and group participation - these tours offer a unique perspective to the city after dark. Suitable for 12 years and up when accompanied by an adult.
