York Dungeon Halloween Events

York Dungeon Halloween – Ooh, I am loving the Halloween events organised by York Dungeon this year!  Now, I have to admit, I haven’t taken my children to York Dungeon yet, as I think they are a bit young (and they are not the bravest with that sort of thing!).  I did visit on my own though.  However there are lots of things going on for Halloween that would be perfect even for my scaredy cats!  

Also have a look at other Halloween Events in Yorkshire!

York Dungeon Halloween

This October, The York Dungeon will become the Home of Halloween, offering unique experiences across the year’s spookiest season.

Amazing live actors and 360 degree sets will fully immerse guests in the darkest parts of old York’s history. Along the way, guests will meet such notorious residents as Guy Fawkes and highwayman Dick Turpin. This Halloween, the attraction is ramping up the scares in their most recent show, The Curse of the Witch; an intense experience featuring infamous local witch Isabella Billington. The show has been dubbed “the scariest show in Dungeon history”.

“We’re upping the ante like never before. All of our incredible shows will push the “scary-fun” vibe of The Dungeons to new extremes, bringing to life York’s darkest history” said Performance Manager Rachael Garwood. “Honestly, it’s so exciting to showcase this unique part of York’s past and present the horrible stories in such a thrilling way.”

Throughout the month, the award-winning attraction opens its doors to an unsuspecting public for a frightfully fun season of macabre scenes from the past. In addition to the attraction tour, the Dungeon have partnered up with City River Cruises again for their famous Halloween Cruise on the Ouse. The family friendly experience allows guests to step aboard an old, abandoned ship on the city’s famous River Ouse. Hosted by the Black Jester,  audiences will discover famous Yorkshire prophet Old Mother Shipton and the outrageous George “Georgie Porgie” Villiers – the 2nd Duke of Buckingham – shaped some horrible parts of history. 

The York Dungeon is also sponsoring the famous Great York Ghost Search, in association with VisitYork. There are many ghosts hidden around the city. Find them, and you could win some amazing prizes, including Merlin Magic Passes!

  1. My teen is desperate to visit York dungeons, her birthday is at the end of October so I might have to take her for her birthday day out as this sounds like something she would love, love the ghost cruise too x

    • Many years ago I worked as a youth worker and ran a junior youth club (ages 10-13, but more weighted towards the younger end) and we took them to the York Dungeon. They must have all been very brave as my ten year old would have nightmares now! I like the sound of the ghost cruise too!
