The Haunted Walk of York was started 25 years ago by the same family that runs the tours today. We pride ourselves on traditional storytelling and do not resort to silly gimmicks or theatrics. The Haunted Walk of York begins at 8:00pm every night from Exhibition Square, in front of the City Art Gallery (over the road from Bootham Bar and the Information Centre). Traditional Storytelling 'At its Best'.

The Ghostwalk was established before 1973 and was an original creation believed to be the first in the world. We promise a unique opportunity to discover the hidden magic of our ancient City through the real art of storytelling. Tales are drawn from the immense history of York and are told against a backdrop of haunting beauty. We walk in the very footsteps of those who have passed before.
