Dungeons – Home of Halloween

Experience Dracula – A Victorian Nightmare at the London Dungeon.
The year is 1886, a shadow hangs over London. Jack the Ripper is carving terror into the East End, and the foggy streets of the capital are filled with paranoia. But while the city obsesses over blood in Whitechapel, a darker, older terror has arrived – one that does not walk the streets by day.

From the storm-battered cliffs of Whitby, something ancient has crossed land and sea. A distraught Count is in search of his next victimโ€ฆ and he will tear through Victorian London to find her.

At York Dungeon Face the Grey Lady, if you dare!
Set in York Theatre Royal, built in 1744 on the site of the medieval St Leonardโ€™s Hospital, you will learn of the forbidden love of demure young nun Florence and her nobleman patient.

This Halloween at Edinburgh Dungeon: Will you escape The Death Cell?
Take yourself back 100 Years as you find yourself in October 1923, as the last prisoner was hung in Edinburghโ€™s notorious Carlton Jail.

This great imposing fortress had some of the worst conditions ever encountered in prisons and the bodies of ten souls are still to this day buried under the stones of what is now a car park.

The Dungeons are recommended for guests aged 13 years or older.
