It’s one of York’s best family-friendly attractions
The National Railway Museum
This Halloween season, something spooky is coming to the museum…
24 October – 1 November 2026
York is said to be one of the most haunted cities in the world, and this October, you are invited to enjoy a haunting storytelling trail like no other.
Ghosts of Station Hall
Created in collaboration with master purveyors of ghouls, York Ghost Merchants, scores of the iconic ceramic ghosts will be hidden high and low amidst the carriages and trains, accompanied by stories inspired by our collection, Victorian rail travel and York's haunted heritage.
Echoes on the Line Family Activities
Throughout the week, young ghost hunters can enjoy daily free storytelling sessions and spooky make-and-take activities.
