About
Enjoy a heritage walking tour of Wakefield city centre especially for Halloween!
This wonderful group of passionate women is working to share with you the stories, heritage and history of Wakefield.
Come along to this popular event and hear exciting tales of murder, mystery and all manner of interesting tales of Wakefield and its people. This is the final opportunity to experience this tour in 2025.
As a Dream Time Creative production the team bring their expertise, passion and love of a good costume to the streets of Wakefield for your delight and delectation. Join them on their Murder & Mayhem tour to hear some incredible tales to amuse, delight and shock.
The fabulous volunteers have selected their highlights and best bits from some of our most popular tours. Join the team to experience ‘Murder and Mayhem’ covering the team’s favourite historical and gruesome tales, just in time for Halloween. You are welcome to ask as many questions as you like during the tour. This tour will last approximately 90 minutes, but you should allow up to 2 hours.
This is a gentle, ambling walk (with some uphill sections) and the route is wheelchair friendly. But do expect it to be cold in October and wrap up warmly.
Gather at Pemberton House, Westgate where the torrid tales begin.
Incorporating iconic Georgian buildings, blue plaques, darkened streets and dangerous corners this walk will thrill you with its content and keep you talking about what you’ve learnt long afterwards.
