Overview

The Deathly Dark Tour of York is a grim and theatrical, dark comedy walking tour, perfect for those who have a bit of a wicked streak and are looking to explore the dark and spooky history of the city with one of our guides, famous for their wonderfully dark sense of humour. Please note, this is not a scare attraction, it is a storytelling experience. The tour is family friendly, but some may find the stories frightening. Children must remain with their parent/guardian at all times. Tour group size is 20-50 people, although this will change depending on the season. Private and small group tours are available on request.

Meeting points

Your guide will meet you outside Quacks Printers, 7 Grape Lane. Please arrive 5-10 minutes before the advertised start time.

End point

Itinerary

  • Coffee Yard

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

    5 minutes

  • Stonegate

    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!

    10 minutes

  • Minster Yard

    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!

    10 minutes

  • Bedern Hall (Pass By)

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

  • N/A

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

    10 minutes

  • N/A

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

    10 minutes

  • Clifford's Tower (Pass By)

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