A Halloween-themed night market featuring handcrafted goods from local traders, street food and warm drinks in the historic Shambles Market.
The Haunted York Night Market takes over Shambles Market on Wednesday 28 October, from 7.30pm to 10pm. It's a Halloween-themed evening in the heart of the city, with the market stalls filled with handcrafted goods from local traders. It's a good chance to pick up something made here and support Yorkshire businesses, with street food and warm drinks on hand and the city after dark as a backdrop.
York has a long history of the macabre to lean on — centuries of dark stories and hundreds of reported ghost sightings have made it one of the most haunted cities in the UK. The night market sits right in the middle of that. It's part of a wider programme of spooky experiences running across the city's medieval halls, mazes and ghost walks throughout the Halloween period, so you can easily make it one stop on a longer night out.

Among those is The Original Ghost Walk of York, which started in 1973 and is believed to be the world's first ghost walk. If you're in the mood for more than just shopping, that's one of the ways you can stretch the evening out. The market itself is at Shambles Market, 4 Jubbergate, York, YO1 8RT, and runs from 7.30pm to 10pm on Wednesday 28 October.
