It’s time for a spooktacular Halloween at Mother Shipton’s – and one lucky family can win tickets to experience it for themselves.
They’re creepy and they’re kooky…Step into the shadows this Halloween at the wonderfully weird and witchy Mother Shipton’s Cave in Knaresborough, Yorkshire! From the 25th October to the 2nd November 2025, head to Mother Shipton’s for Creepy & Kooky, an event inspired by the world’s most delightfully dark family. Explore themed displays, take haunting photos, and meet live actors portraying a gruesome grandma, mysterious mother, a dashing darkly-dressed gentleman, and their gothic daughter…
Dress to impress in your best spooky style and share your snaps using #mothershiptons for a chance to win return tickets! Gothic glamour and spooky style are highly encouraged. Encounter the petrifying well, where everyday objects are turned to stone by nature’s strange magic, and venture into the legendary cave where the Yorkshire prophetess was born. Voted Best Magical Experience and Best Overall Attraction in Yorkshire, it’s the ultimate destination for an October adventure.
Meander past cabinets of petrified curiosities, make a wish at the mystical well, and shop for strange and spellbinding souvenirs in the quirky gift shop. Enjoy autumnal views from covered picnic benches and wander the magical mile-long trail along the River Nidd – dogs welcome in all areas excluding the playground and gift shop (except guide/assistance dogs). Access to the adventure playground, cave, and well, is subject to weather conditions. It’s a great excuse for a trip to beautiful Knaresborough, too. Booking is essential, so secure your tickets now through the Mother Shiptons website.
