Ghostly Gaslight

Fri-Sat 25-26 October 2024 Ghostly Gaslight

Join us at Blists Hill Victorian Town this Halloween for a spine-tingling and spooky evening full of Victorian-inspired horror, hauntings and nightmarish goings-on.

Explore our Victorian town under the cover of darkness and meet some of the town’s shadier inhabitants who come out but once a year.

As you make your way through our town surrounded by the supernatural, you’ll have to avert your eyes as you stumble into bloody murder scenes and sinister characters.

Make sure to keep your wits about you when you arrive on Dracula’s Demeter! Legend has it he likes to pick off his guests one by one, leaving just a few survivors to share his horrible story.

During your time in our town you won’t be able to shake the feeling you’re being watched. But by who? It could be the china dolls with their unchanging expressions or maybe it’s the creature hiding in the shadows. Don’t worry! You’ll soon find out…

The Forest Glen Refreshment Pavilion, New Inn Public House and the Fried Fish Dealers will be open for food and drink. You are encouraged to come in Halloween costume.

Dates: 25 and 26 October, 2024

Timings: From 6pm until 9pm
