Step into Wakefield’s haunted past on this guided evening ghost walk.

Your experience begins at The Black Horse pub, where you’ll be welcomed with a tasty slice of pizza and introductions before setting out into the city’s shadowy streets.

The walk covers just 1.2 miles, making it accessible for most, and includes several stops to rest your legs while you hear tales of gruesome history, folklore, and eerie encounters. Along the way you’ll visit genuinely haunted locations, including exclusive access inside the atmospheric Old Vicarage, home to spine-tingling stories and paranormal activity.

Led by The Curator, your ghostly guide, the walk blends local history with storytelling and humour to bring Wakefield’s darker side vividly to life.

Whether you’re a history lover, a fan of folklore, or simply looking for a night out with a difference, this is an evening you won’t forget.
