About this Event

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.


What’s included:

  • Welcome slice of pizza at The Black Horse
  • 1.2-mile guided ghost walk through Wakefield
  • Storytelling at several haunted locations
  • Entry into the historic Old Vicarage
  • Rest stops with seating along the route


Please note:

  • The ghost walk is designed for ages 12 and up, but younger guests may attend at parental discretion.
  • Stories are told for entertainment purposes, though all are rooted in local history and supported by documented evidence.
  • The walk takes place outdoors in all weather conditions – please dress appropriately.
  • Sensible footwear is recommended.
  • Participation is at your own risk. Organisers accept no liability for personal injury or loss.
