Ghostly Gaslight returns for a spine-tingling evening this Halloween, with Blists Hill transformed into a Victorian ghost town for a night of (frightening!) fun.

Creepy costumed characters will roam the darkened streets – cross their paths at your peril… But beware, as you won’t be any safer inside, with horrifying goings-on in the town’s exhibits.

The streets will be dressed (to kill…) for the scariest night of the year, promising a fright around every corner. Bring family and friends, dressed in your own best Halloween costumes, for a night of Victorian-inspired horror, hauntings and nightmarish goings-on.

This event features actors, loud noises and special effects to add to the fun and thrills.

Antisocial behaviour will not be tolerated at IGMT events.

Ghostly Gaslight is an immersive experience featuring special effects, smoke, lighting, darkness, loud noises, live actors and jump scares.

What scares one person may make another laugh. Whilst our event and actors do their best to scare you, we understand that being scared is completely subjective. We aim to make Ghostly Gaslight a great experience, whatever your emotion.
