Experience Haunted York This Halloween
York is often called the most haunted city in England, and October is the perfect time to discover why. With Halloween just around the corner, the city comes alive with spooky tours, eerie events, and atmospheric evenings that bring York’s ghostly past to life.
From lantern-lit ghost walks through medieval streets to immersive storytelling in ancient pubs, there are countless ways to explore the city’s haunted history. Families can enjoy themed events such as pumpkin trails and light displays, while thrill-seekers may prefer late-night ghost hunts in historic buildings. Popular highlights include the Original Ghost Walk of York and chilling tales told in the shadow of York Minster.
The city’s gothic charm provides the ultimate backdrop for Halloween fun. Cobbled lanes like the Shambles take on an otherworldly feel, while York Dungeon hosts special seasonal shows that combine history with a theatrical fright. Whether you’re looking for family-friendly activities or spine-tingling scares, York offers something for everyone in October.
To make the most of your Halloween getaway, base yourself in one of the Holiday Homes in York. After a night of exploring haunted alleyways and centuries-old legends, return to the comfort of a stylish city rental. With homes suited for couples, families, or groups of friends, you’ll have the perfect retreat to relax — if you can sleep after all those ghost stories!
