We’ve got some excellent eerie news for you if you’re looking for something fun – and free – to do in York during October half term: the Little York Ghost Hunt is back for 2024! It’s part of York Ghost Week, which runs from 28th to 31st October 2024 inclusive (6pm to 8pm).

Join the search each evening at dusk for the Little York Ghosts hiding on the streets around York Minster. This is a seek-and-keep hunt. As twilight gives way to night, The York Ghost Merchants invite you to join the search each evening for Little York Ghosts along the atmospheric ancient streets that surround York Minster. There will be ghosts to find each evening; some rare and unusual ones are included in their number. Maps will be available from mid-October. This is one of a few FREE activities running in and around York this October half term – take a look at our October half term guide for the best things going on around the city.
