The Original Ghostwalk of York

08/09/2026

York is full of historic rogues and villains, but we didn’t expect to meet modern day highwaymen on the internet...

A bad online ticket provider stitched us up proper with online highway robbery, costing us thousands and causing endless headaches for all our guests.

We’d had enough of getting done over. We stripped back to our Yorkshire roots and partnered up with Fango, a trustworthy Yorkshire company!

Thanks to our booking system is up and running. Your payments are safe, your tickets are instant, and the ghosts await you here in York.

We were joined on this year's Yorkshire Day by the wonderful Jack or the Northern Introvert. Who's videos are all fascinating.

He filmed and produced this fantastic video and helped deliver our message of Yorkshire Integrity loud an clear.

We are proud of our county and its people and celebrate the achievements at any opportunity!

It's a bit of fun with a serious message.

Please enjoy this video and join us next year.

"History came full circle on the cobbles tonight, folk." 📜🕯️
We had the absolute pleasure of chatting with Mike, a proper "old boy" who joined us on the walk. Mike went to St Peter’s School—the very same school attended by Guy Fawkes himself.
Even more incredible, back in his schooldays, Mike was taught by none other than John Mitchell — the man who started The World's First - The Original Ghost Walk of York way back in 1973.
We spoke with Mike at length, and he recalled the unforgettable moment when Harry Martindale came to St Peter’s to speak to the boys about his world-famous sighting of the Roman soldiers in the Treasurer's House cellar.
To top it all off, Mike shared his own first-hand encounter from when he was a young man—watching unexplained smoke rising inside the old "New Orleans" bar - now Tesco's, right here on Ouse Bridge.
It’s nights like these that remind us what we’re really about. The stories don't just belong to the past—they live on in the people who walked these streets before us. A massive thank you to Mike for sharing his memories with us.
📍 The King’s Arms, Ouse Bridge
🕗 8:00 PM Tonight
🎟️ No booking required—just turn up.
