You will meet the Butcher by the Castle Gates and keep your wits about you as she guides you through the famously haunted medieval streets of Skipton. As you move through the town, you will hear tales of haunted pubs, churchyards, canals and the castle. Along the way, stories will bring the place’s history to life, linking buildings and lanes to the people who once lived here.
You will learn about Skipton’s residents across the years — kings, queens, knights, witches, peasants, butchers and, of course, sheep — and hear ghostly legends tied to those characters. The tour has been praised as appropriate for people of all ages, so young and old can enjoy the stories. You will be led by Turnip Fish Theatre Company, the creators of the appraised Otley Ghost Tour, in their second ghost walk, which asks the question: does Skipton really contain a ghost in every building? The experience focuses on storytelling and local history rather than promises of supernatural encounters.
