HEXed at The Hole In Wand

HEXed takes over The Hole In Wand from Friday 13 November, running through to 30 November. It's a family-friendly Halloween trail activity, so it's one of those things you can drag the kids along to rather than a late-night haunt. The timing puts it well past the actual day, so it's more of a post-Halloween thing to do in the city.

It's billed as a haunted attraction, and it sits within York's 'Haunted York' events programme. The whole thing runs under the tagline 'Something wicked is brewing in York...', which gives you a fair idea of the vibe they're going for. As a trail activity, it's designed to be worked through rather than just stood in, so it's a bit more active than your usual seated attraction.

Because it's part of the wider 'Haunted York' programme, it's one of several things happening around the city during this period. If you're planning a proper Halloween-themed weekend, you can slot it in alongside other events in the same series. The family-friendly tag is the key bit here — it's built for all ages, not just for those who like a proper scare, so it works for younger ones who might find a full-on haunted house a bit much.

It runs from 13 November to 30 November at The Hole In Wand, so you've got a good few weeks to fit it in. If you're looking for something to do with the family after the Halloween decorations have come down, this is a solid option.
