Dare you join a one-off charity spine-chiller…?
Bloody Mansion House Tour on Monday 23 October, 2023, promises to be York’s spookiest and tastiest tour this Halloween-time with award-winning guide Mad Alice.
Mad Alice - ‘one of Britain’s top tour guides’ - will uncover centuries-old secrets of the haunted Lord Mayor’s Mansion House and its spookiest surrounding streets.
The one-off tour starts and ends at the Mansion House as Alice terrifies and entertains her guests in equal measure. Tickets - supporting local charities - are selling fast. There’s only a limited number.
The tour ends with a Mad Alice Bloody Orange G&T from York Gin in the Mansion House as Alice unearths spooky stories from throughout the ages.
The tour is part of the Lord Mayors Appeal Fund year long fundraiser for York Women's Counselling and the Snappy Trust, their chosen charities.
This really is a unique tour as Alice shines a light on many little-known tales from York’s past on a circuit from the Mansion House.

Alicia Stabler who plays the Mad Alice character said: ‘I’ve delved into York’s haunted vaults and found some truly terrifying tales. I promise you.’
Lady Mayoress said: ‘What better way to raise funds for these wonderful charities than to spend the evening with the brilliant Mad Alice? The Mansion House is a wonderfully atmospheric venue to end the tour - and what a bonus to enjoy a Mad Alice G&T!’
