You know we get some odd reviews on TripAdvisor, but this has to be my favourite one so far.

If you’re out there, Brenda… come to York this year, we have cracking pantos and we’ll try not to cast Allison, although we do love her in Bake Off.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY DALTON DEATHLY!!

Dalton auditioned for us back in early 2024 and we couldn’t imagine The Deathly Dark Tours without him.

He’s dominating the front page of our TripAdvisor, has more props and costumes now than Dorian and even made his own hat.

Let’s have some Dalton love in the comments please!

Over the next year we will be bringing some things to life that aren't the tours so wanted to make somewhere we could post about those things (podcasts, films, theatre shows) a bit more frequently and not dilute what most of you are here for (ghost tours, York related THINGS).

So if you'd like to keep up with what we're doing alongside the tours, be sure to go and follow, like, stalk this page.

Who IS Dorian Deathly?

Hello, browser of the internet.

My name is Dorian Deathly, and it is a pleasure to make your acquaintance. You must be here because you're the curious type, looking to uncover some of the darker and more unpleasant things that lurk within the two thousand years of York's murkier moments.

We'll get along just fine.

Consider me your tour guide, story teller, fellow adventurer in time. Together we will talk of murders, executions, plagues and pestilence, and perhaps the odd things that go bump in the night.​
