"31st October 2016 - 31st October 2016


On Halloween - when the veil between the living and dead at its thinnest - join our costumed guides for an unforgettably spooky journey around Lancaster Castle. 


Meet the Witchfinder General as he seeks out the sinners to stand trial in our eighteenth century 'hanging court'. Have the opportunity to be locked into the darkest of prison cells and hear tales of ghosts, witches, villains and gruesome executions. A night that's not to be missed!


Children's tours: 5.00pm, 5.30pm, 6.00pm, 6.30pm £6.50 per ticket (all children must be accompanied by an adult). 


Adult-only Tours: (ages 16 +): 7.00pm, 7.30pm and 8.00pm £8 per ticket. 


Entry will be via the main gate. Tours start from outside the café and will not be going into any of the 'modern' prison wings. 


Call 01524 64998 for tickets. Tickets on sale from 1 September. 


Book early to avoid disappointment"
