Portsmouth is an ancient town… comprised of a labyrinth of dark smuggler alleyways, used to ‘run’ illicit goods underground. But having the home of the Royal Navy within the Dockyard has created a constant battle of cat and mouse between smugglers and pirates and the Excise Men and the Royal Naval officers. But beware - the ‘Gangers’ are out in town tonight looking for new recruits to press gang. Dare you tread the dark the streets tonight to hear stories of ghosts, mayhem and murder?
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 narrows streets rival gangs would compete for the trade of the thousands of sailors disembarking every week.
