Join the search each evening at dusk for the Little York Ghosts that have been hidden on the streets around York Minster. This is a seek-and-keep hunt: find one and you can take it home. There are over a hundred to find each evening, including some rare and unusual ones. Maps will be available from The York Ghost Merchants from mid-October, so you know where to look. We’ve embarked on the hunt several times, and really enjoy it despite never finding a ghost! It’s fun to see the city after dark, especially if we use it as an excuse for a family dinner out.

Where? 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.

When? Monday 27th to Thursday 30th October 2025, 6–8pm
