With tickets for May 25 and June 22 now sold out, it has now been confirmed that four tours will take place on July 27. 

The tours, lasting around an hour-and-a-half, are scheduled for 10am, 12pm, 2pm and 4pm. 

All tours are conducted by an experienced guide, who will talk through the history of the cemetery itself, before taking visitors through the catacombs. 

The events are organised by Nottingham City Council’s Parks and Open Spaces department.

The catacombs, said to be one of the most haunted locations in Nottingham, opened to the public for the first time in 2019, which saw 500 people join the waiting list for tours. 

Rock Cemetery, officially called Church Cemetery, opened in 1856 and is the final resting place for several notable people, including architect Watson Fothergill. 

Tickets for the tours on July 27 are expected to sell very quickly, so don’t delay securing your place here.
