Ghosts in the Gardens
Saturday 19th September to Sunday 1st November 2026
Something spooky this way comes!
From September, York’s streets and green spaces will once again play host to a city-wide gathering of ghostly figures as our Ghosts in the Gardens take their places across historic sites.
Now a cornerstone of York’s cultural calendar, Ghosts in the Gardens has already attracted thousands of visitors to the city, encouraging people to explore York in a new way – discovering gardens, ruins, and hidden corners they may never have seen before.
Once again, the Hall will have a garden of ghastly ghouls including our female merchant and other spooktacular sculptures. Visit York if you dare!
