The Deathly Dark 8pm Public Tour
Tue 28 Nov 2023 8:00 PM - 9:30 PM GMT
Meet your guide on Grape Lane, just around the corner from the York Minster. From there you and your fellow travellers will wander the delightfully grim streets of York, to be told tales from two thousand years of blood coated history.

Ghostly goings on, foul deathly deeds and betrayals plenty.

The Deathly Dark Tour is a unique, comedy horror storytelling experience performed on the magnificent stage that is the city of York.

In the company of our award winning guide you will hear of the grim history, the foul deeds and of course the infamous hauntings that have earned York the reputation of being the most haunted city in England.

PLEASE NOTE - The Deathly Dark Tour is NOT a scare attraction. We do not employ actors to chase after our guests or jump out at you. No ghost tour in the city of York does this. If you're looking for a night of spooky stories, top notch weird banter and an exploration of some of York's hidden streets you're in the right place.
