An exclusive ghost trail in Station Hall, created with York Ghost Merchants for the October half term.

The National Railway Museum in York is teaming up with York Ghost Merchants to bring an exclusive ghost trail to Station Hall over the October half term. Billed as part of the museum's Spooky Season, it invites Halloween fans of all ages to explore the hall and uncover its ghostly goings-on, tying into York's reputation as one of the most haunted cities in the world. It runs alongside the museum's wider half term Spooky Season programme, which takes place from 24 October to 1 November 2026. Entry to the National Railway Museum itself is free, though this trail is described as an exclusive addition to the season's events, so it's best to check what booking or extra charge may apply when you visit.
