Ghosts in the Garden
Join the York wide search for the garden ghosts, back by popular demand. Get up close and personal to the three new temporary residents on open days from 20 September to 29 October.
- Booking not needed
- Free event
York is one of the ghostliest cities around and following their previous success in spooking the city, the ghosts are back…bigger and in more gardens than ever.
Come back soon to see what three ghosts will be visiting the garden this autumn.
When closed, the large ghosts will be visible but visit during opening hours to get close to the skilfully formed mesh sculptures. Open Saturday - Wednesday, 11am - 4pm.
This year’s display promises to be bigger and better with ghosts added to more of York’s beautiful city centre gardens. There are 45 to spot as you explore and the trail runs 19 September - 5 November, but like Treasurer's House, some gardens have selected access.
Thanks to the York BID (Business Improvement District) for the city-wide event of Ghosts in the Garden. Pick up your city wide map for spook searching from the Visitor Information Centre on Parliament Street.
