Haunted Halloween - the Midnight Hour

A late night special for the steely-willed! Take a walk through Edinburgh’s Old Town and then venture deep underground, in time for the witching hour, in the dead of night.

About Haunted Halloween - the Midnight Hour

Sorry, but this event has been and gone!

This Halloween tour is only for the steely-willed: it takes serious nerve to keep your cool in the gloom, among the spirits of Halloween.

From the damp medieval streets to the dark caverns beneath, the tour will descend into the Blair Street Underground Vaults. Cobwebs hang from every surface, dim figures move in the near-darkness. The candlelight hardly helps, throwing long shadows against the walls, giving little more comfort than a small pool of light… It’s a dark, unsettling experience.

This is a strictly adults-only tour, so expect the worst tales of misdeeds, the goriest details, the most ghoulish happenings.

While we take every opportunity to ensure the details for Haunted Halloween - the Midnight Hour are accurate, we always advise that you contact the event organiser before setting out for the event to avoid disapointment.
