St. Nicholas Priory - Overnight Ghost Hunt with Ghostly Nights

Enter Exeter’s Oldest Haunted House

St. Nicholas Priory, hidden in the heart of Exeter, is a building with nearly 1,000 years of history. First founded as a Benedictine monastery in 1087, it later became a grand Tudor home – and within its walls are centuries of worship, wealth, scandal, and sorrow.

By day, this beautifully preserved site attracts visitors for its architecture and heritage. By night, the atmosphere shifts. Shadows stretch longer, footsteps echo where none should be, and stories of restless spirits whisper through the halls. Many who have visited after dark believe they have encountered something that refuses to be forgotten.

Why St. Nicholas Priory Is Unmissable

With nearly a millennium of history soaked into its walls, St. Nicholas Priory is one of Exeter’s most atmospheric locations.
