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.

Join us this Halloween, where every corner might hide something unexpected, and the eerie past may just come alive around you.

The Leeds Mummy
The notorious prisoner of Leeds Town Hall
The Yorkshire Martyrs
