Come and join Mad Alice, if you dare. Step aboard the North Yorkshire Moors Railway after dark for an immersive Halloween experience like no other.
Named after York's most infamous ghost, the Mad Alice Ghost Train carries you on a live theatrical journey across the moonlit night, with costumed storytellers, atmospheric entertainment and a complimentary York Gin drink to steady your nerves.
But hurry, Mad Alice's presence is for three evenings only, 18 October, 25 October and 1 November, with two services departing each night.
This event is strictly for adventurous souls aged 14 and over. Looking for something that is fun for all the family? Check out our October Half Term Family Days Out instead. Wishing you a spooky Halloween.
Who is the figure beckoning you into the dark?
Alice Smith, one of York's most legendary ghosts, leaves the city's haunted streets behind to stalk the moors instead. She is your host, narrator and guide through the gloom, performed live by a professional actor. Follow her into a world of Victorian Gothic Halloween, with lantern-lit carriages and the kind of ghost stories that cling to you long after you step back onto solid ground.

Gather your courage and your bravest companions, this is a night for grown-ups and fearless older teenagers, with a minimum age of 14 (Young Adult tickets available).
Anyone buying alcohol on board must be 18 or over and may be asked for ID. Fear not too much, though, for Alice means to thrill rather than truly terrify: think Gothic storytelling rather than horror film. If you love Halloween at its most atmospheric, then Mad Alice is waiting. Will you answer her call?
For anyone buying alcohol, if you are lucky enough to look under 25 we will require ID before serving you your included York Gin. Terms & Conditions
All Aboard, If You Dare
Don't let this be the one that gets away. Alice haunts the moors on three nights only, and once the lanterns are lit there is no turning back.
Book your tickets today, before the last seats vanish into the dark.
