Here is our mega What's on guide for Halloween & Half Term across the North East keep an eye out for our separate what's on without the spook post.

Psychopath

Returns to Lintz Hall for 2025 it is the UKs Biggest Scream park so if this is your kind of thing or you are looking for a good scare, get yourself here. But be quick because tickets sell out quickly

And it looks bigger and better than ever! With even more frights waiting for you it is bound to put a tingle in your spine. Check out all the info you will need HERE before deciding to book. Please note this event is not suitable for kids and anyone u13 will not be allowed entry. All others must be accompanied by adults at all times whilst on site.

For younger kids check out Fright fest which is also making its return. Always a very popular event with lots to do.

Wizard Walk of York

🎃York’s only tour specifically created for families with children.

WINNER of a magical myriad of awards including Best Tour, Best of York Award and 3rd Best Family Experience in the World.

Great for Harry Potter fans, but no knowledge of the wizarding world is required! An ideal alternative to a ghost walk, with no spooky ghosts and no scary stories…expect FUN over frights. On selected dates you can also add the ‘What a Hoot!’ Bird of Prey Photo Experience. And be sure to call in to Loopy Scoops to try the exclusive Wizard of York Ice-Cream!

 Pre-booking is essential, and early booking recommended as dates fill fast.
