What is it?
It is the eve of All Saints – Halloween – do you think you are brave, fearless and daring? Well think again! Join in this series of tales and stories with our costumed storyteller within the iconic floodlit ruins of Whitby Abbey, the setting for the most well-known Gothic tale of Victorian times – Dracula. Wear warm clothes (perhaps a waterproof!) and sensible footwear. The 5.30pm tour is at twilight and suitable for young children. Later tours are not recommended for the under 10s.
