The popular Dorchester Ghost Walks return today (Thursday) with the first walk of its 26th year.

Discover Dorchester's grisly history with town crier Alistair Chisholm and local actor Chris Gallarus. Meet at 8pm at The King's Arms - there's no need to book and dogs are welcome.

Be treated to the tales of the town, learn more about Judge Jefferies, the buildings, alleyways and more.

The walk, popular with both locals and visitors, celebrated 25 years in the town last year. Alistair started the popular tour as he felt Dorchester, with its rich history, made the perfect place for a ghost walk.
