Rose Hall Great House hosts haunted tours from 28 October

Rose Hall Great House hosts its Halloween Haunted Night Tour in Montego Bay from 28 to 31 October 2026. The programme brings an evening version of the restored 18th-century mansion together with the local legend of the White Witch of Rose Hall.

Halloween tours run at Rose Hall from 28 October

The operator lists the Halloween Haunted Night Tour for four dates, from Wednesday 28 October through Saturday 31 October 2026. The published programme describes a guided evening visit through the house, with stories about Annie Palmer and the mysteries associated with the property.

The operator also identifies the tour as an interactive historical experience. Its regular night-tour information says the presentation is directed by Douglas Prout and includes the house, its historical museum and an 18th-century graveyard. The Halloween listing does not publish a separate programme of performers or musical acts.

The date and venue are set out together on the Halloween tour programme. The operator's wider description places the experience within the house's established night-tour format, rather than presenting it as a separate festival.

Rose Hall links Halloween stories to an 18th-century house

The mansion is described by its operator as a restored 18th-century architectural property on Jamaica's north coast, in the Rose Hall area of Montego Bay. Its historical interpretation combines the building's domestic rooms with the story of Annie Palmer, whose popular image as the White Witch is central to the evening presentation.

The building was restored to its former appearance in the 1960s after being described as a colonial ruin. That history gives the Halloween programme a specific setting: visitors encounter the legend inside a house whose current appearance reflects twentieth-century restoration, not an untouched plantation interior.

The operator says tours are conducted in English, with scripts available in more than ten languages. Its visitor information also states that photography and video are not permitted inside the house. Further details about the building, the garden visit and the night-tour format appear in the operator's tour information.

Recent recognition follows the house's reopening

The Halloween dates come after a year in which the attraction returned to visitors following damage caused by Hurricane Melissa on 28 October 2025. The operator says Rose Hall Great House reopened on 1 December 2025 after staff worked to clean and restore the property.

On 11 October 2026, Rose Hall Great House Tours received the Caribbean's Leading Tourist Attraction 2026 title at the World Travel Awards gala in Hanover. The Jamaica Gleaner also reported the award, placing the recognition alongside other Jamaican tourism winners rather than treating it as a change to the house itself.

That sequence connects the October 2026 Halloween programme with the property's recent visitor history. The night tour is therefore scheduled at a site that the operator says resumed public visits in December 2025 and received a regional tourism award in October 2026.
