Ghostly Nights are proud to welcome you to Shire Hall Museum.

At the edge of Dorset, nestled in the quiet town of Dorchester, Shire Hall Museum waits—a grand Georgian courthouse with walls that have heard more than two centuries of secrets. Here, whispers of justice and judgment linger, woven into the creaking floorboards and towering stone walls. This is no ordinary museum; it’s a place where Dorset’s darkest tales come alive, where you can follow the footsteps of infamous criminals, doomed souls, and everyday people drawn into the unforgiving clutches of the law.

Step through the heavy doors, and you’re no longer a visitor—you’re a witness to history’s most haunting trials. Walk down cold, narrow cells that held prisoners before their fates were sealed; feel the tension in the air of the courtroom where their lives changed forever. Here, voices from the past echo, inviting you to uncover the chilling stories of hardship, punishment, and perseverance.

Will you dare to look deeper, to listen to the voices of the accused, the condemned, and those who judged them? Welcome to Shire Hall Museum—where history haunts every shadow.
