The York Dungeon
Actor-led horror history, from the Vikings to Guy Fawkes, with jump scares for the brave.
A walk-through of York's grislier past with live actors, special effects and a courtroom where you may be put on trial: plague, torture, the witch trials and Dick Turpin. It is ticketed, indoors and pitched at teenagers and adults who like being made to jump. Book online for the cheaper price.
