Feeling spooky?...

H

ow convenient – it’s the month of Halloween. And we’ve worked our fingers to the bone to find some horrifyingly brilliant events that the whole family can enjoy (and maybe some for just the grown-ups).

From the York Dungeons’ special events and late night openings, to York Maze’s terrifying Hallowscream, there are attractions

Events p.6

for everyone. Or if you’d like to venture into the great outdoors, why not pop to Burton Agnes Hall’s Spooky Woodland Trail?

If you’re not a fan of ghouls and goblins, have no fear. There are some cracking events happening all month as the autumn season gets into full swing – especially over half term. And we’ve added our usual pick of the theatres and gigs, too.

We are good to you, aren’t we?

Whatever you decide to do this month, have a good one, and we’ll see you next time!
