Amazing fun today really well put together and just the right level of scary and fun. The actors were brilliant and it's not too big or busy to combine with other attractions.

Such a great, fun way to learn more about York through the ages. Thoroughly enjoyed this with my 13 year old. The experience was very interactive and suitable for all ages.

What a greatly terrifying experience, the anticipation of the next scare is next to no feeling. Had us on edge the whole time with great acting and great tales. A must if you’re in York!

Something we'd not usually try (because we're wimps) but thought we'd give it a go with our Clubcard vouchers. We had so much fun! The actors were hilarious. A great mix of anticipation, humour and great acting. Don't know how they kept a straight face, the Dr's assistant especially. Be a willing participant and you'll have a great time. Thank you group 1pm 2nd Dec.

Speaking as Hilda, I was sentenced guilty for being a Sheffielder! The rewards were an absolute scare fest! The cast were fantastic, and got the audience involved! Would come back again and recommend to everyone!
