Halifax Civic Trust - Uncanny Halloween Walk - Halloween Night!

Historian David Glover leads a spooky Halloween-night walking tour through Halifax's darker history, from medieval murders to Victorian crimes.

Halifax Civic Trust hosts a Halloween-night walking tour led by historian David Glover, exploring the town's darker history over roughly two hours. The walk covers stories including a shooting in King Street, blood seeping under a doorway in Great Albion Street at Christmas 1908, where Peter Sutcliffe drank, and an illegal burial in Holy Trinity Churchyard. It is a linear walk starting at Halifax Gibbet and ending at the former Magistrates Court, with a return escort available; visitors are advised to bring a torch, and it is not suitable for those with sight or mobility concerns or those easily scared.
