It’s that time of year, pumpkins, witches, ghosts and ghoulies and you will find it all at York Dungeon. For those looking to make the most of the scariest time of the year look no further. The York Dungeon is the ‘Home of Halloween’ with new events and surprises throughout the month of October.
Learn about the darker side of York’s history, with something new lurking around every corner and lots of surprises to all of the 10 live shows.
This year also sees the return of the popular Trick or Treat Walking Tours, a family-only event designed with younger visitors in mind.
“Although we love being scary, we love having fun too, and our Walking Tours have always been the perfect event for little ones who may be too scared to come inside The York Dungeon” explains Marketing Executive, Simon Alnaimi.
Families will be led by characters from The York Dungeon, around key locations in the city centre with historical significance, and then told of all the horrible and spooky stories they have to tell.
The York Dungeon is bringing a whole list of brand new events to York for the first time, exclusively for Halloween. There’s something for everyone, whatever the age.
Looking forward to Halloween at York Dungeon are The Plague Doctor (played by Naomi Lombard), The Torturer (played by Nick Trott), and the Witch Pricker (Samuel Glover). Picture David Harrison.
There’s the City Bus Tour, in partnership with Yorkshire Belles, where families will see even more of the city, and find out about the grislier details of history they don’t learn in school; The York Dungeon Late event, which is strictly adults only, with cheekier scripts and even more scares; and the Ghost Cruise on the Ouse, in partnership with City Cruises York, this is a unique Halloween event that combines a trip on the river, with some of the scariest ghost stories in York.
The York Dungeon will be open until 9pm on the 18th & 31st October, enabling you to experience the darker side of history, after dark.
