The Ghost Bus Tour is a unique comedy-horror theatrical experience and is rated suitable for ages 6 and up. While the show includes loud noises, sudden surprises, and tales of York’s gruesome history, the overall tone is hilariously spooky, not genuinely terrifying. It’s the perfect amount of fright for older children, groups, and adults looking for family friendly Halloween activities in York.
The core route, which passes York’s most famous and haunted landmarks like the York Minster and Clifford’s Tower, remains the same. However, during the last two weeks of October, our ghoulish conductor amplifies the horror content and adds Halloween-specific commentary and extra theatrical surprises to enhance the spooky season atmosphere.
Step aboard the infamous Necrobus—our classic 1960s Routemaster, lovingly restored and repurposed for the recently (and not-so-recently) deceased. This is the most atmospheric vehicle in York for your Halloween night out!
Forget standard sightseeing. With plush gothic interiors, flickering lanterns, and a conductor who’s a little too familiar with the afterlife, your ride becomes a truly immersive experience. Your ghoulish guide will take you through York’s cursed corners, revealing the chilling secrets behind the city’s beautiful façades, from royal executions to the restless spirits lurking in the shadows this October.
