What makes The Deathly Dark Tour of York: Experience of the Year 2024 a unique experience ?

Are you ready to hear about the terrible things that have happened in the Snickleways of York?

There are a number of buildings on Stonegate that have spooky, historical significance which has been lost to time, but the buildings still stand and we know all the facts!

The York Minster is a magnificent building that stands high and proud in the centre of York. Officially there are no ghosts here, but unofficially we can tell you about a few!

We have some terrible tales to tell in the dark, back streets of Bedern.

Coppergate is home to many ghostly stories, but which one will you hear about? Perhaps an angry viking or a grumpy business woman!

A warped and wonderful old street, that needs to be seen with your own eyes.

We end our time together by the steps of Clifford's Tower (subject to availability) where years of dark history have unfolded.
