SOME of the darkest episodes in the history of York will be brought back to life on the streets of the city later this month.

Family day trips and city sightseeing have been limited over the past year, yet as the UK prepares to exit lockdown The York Dungeon has plans for an eerie and exciting day out.

Taking the spooky family attraction above ground, guests will be taken on a tour of some of the city’s most hair-raising historic locations by two of the Dungeons most or should we say least loved characters.

Packed full of ‘orrible tales of the cities murky history, which are all wrapped up in suspense and surprises, families can discover the real tales of the city which has been labelled as one of the UK’s most haunted.

Andy Turner General Manger of The York Dungeon said: “We are so excited to be able to bring our family favourite dungeon experience out of the shadows and onto the streets of York.”

“The York Dungeon has been an experience for so many before, yet never like this. Guests will be able to learn about the history of York, whilst visiting landmarks and there may be a few spooky surprises along the way.”

Starting from Friday, April 16, tours will be running Friday to Sunday, with a range of start times throughout the day.

Tours will depart from outside The York Dungeon starting from 12pm, 13.30pm, 15pm and 16.30pm and will run on Friday, Saturday and Sunday.

Guests must pre-book tickets in advance via The York Dungeon website, with prices standing at £6.50 for adults and £5.50 for children.
