Ghost tours in tunnels, and Halloween food fun, this October 31

EVENT NOW SOLD OUT - APOLOGIES On Saturday 31 October Manchester Confidential’s editor and qualified tour guide Jonathan Schofield, will be leading a series of tours around ghostly Manchester with other guides.

These special Halloween tours (£6 adults, £4 concessions) will take place every hour on the hour from 3pm to 10pm starting at The Great Northern Square. They will take a trip into the best tunnels in the North of England under the Great Northern Goods Warehouse (AMC), then move out through a suitable cemetery on to Dukes 92 in Castlefield.

There will be surprises and spectral manifestations from beyond the grave. There will be terror. Oh and a few laughs too.

Then at the tour’s end our good friends at Dukes 92 are providing an extravaganza of Halloween entertainment, with a feast of food and a flurry of entertainment.

Food will include cockle warming homemade grub such as burgers, hotdogs and black peas, plus Halloween treats such as parkin and toffee apples along with seasonal tipples for grown ups and kids, mulled wine, hot chocolate/schnocolate and pumpkin soup.

Tricks and treats on the terrace (or inside if the weather’s against us) will include pumpkin carving, spooky face painting, toffee apple bobbing, a trick or treat dip, sparklers and fireworks.

Spooky treats will go on until 8pm for kids. Then it’s adult time down at the Dukes’ terrace.

The tours cost £6 for waged folk and £4 for unwaged and children. There will be a prize for the best costume on an adult and on a child on each tour. The 3pm, 4pm, 5pm and 6pm tours will be child friendly, the 7pm, 8pm, 9pm and 10pm tours will be more for adults. Each tour will last around 45 minutes. Maximum of five bookings on each tour. SORRY.ER. WOW. THREE DAYS...ALL TOURS SOLD OUT. WE WILL TRY TO FIND SOME EXTRA CAPACITY.
