Ghosts After Dark, a popular annual event featuring 70 illuminated ghost sculptures, has returned to York Museum Gardens for five nights from November 4 to 8. The event brings together sculptures from the York BID's Ghosts in the Gardens trail and has already sold 7,000 tickets.
This year's edition, a collaboration between York BID and York Museums Trust, has expanded beyond Museum Gardens into additional historic locations including King's Manor courtyard, Library Lawn, the Anglian Tower, Edible Wood, Artists' Garden, St Olave's Churchyard, and the area beside York Art Gallery. The event features a cast of six storytellers to help visitors experience tales of old York.
For the first time, Ghosts After Dark includes a night market with seven stalls from local businesses, including Horrifically Good Books, and three other shops dotted around the event from makers such as York Ghost Merchants, who created a limited edition ghost for the event. Carl Alsop from York BID said the event was designed to attract local people to the city during the period between Halloween and Christmas.
