Leeds: The Dark Side Tour – Halloween Walking Tour
Ghosts. Murder. A mummy. Haunted pubs. And some of Leeds’ darkest secrets.
Uncover Leeds’s secrets and skeletons; from alien abductions and our very own mummy, to the ghosts that haunt the abbey and gruesome deaths, this special Halloween walking tour has it all. Bring our dark past into light as you discover a unique side to our iconic city.
Leeds has a blood-stained history filled with restless spirits, mysterious deaths, and chilling encounters. Some of these tales are centuries old, others are shockingly recent, and some of them still lurk in the shadows today. Join us this Halloween, where every corner might hide something unexpected, and the eerie past may just come alive around you.
Tour highlights:
The Leeds Mummy
The notorious prisoner of Leeds Town Hall
The Yorkshire Martyrs
The horrendous working class conditions
The haunted pubs of Leeds
…and much more!

Only for adults ages 16+. Meet in Victoria Gardens, outside Leeds Art Gallery.
