Huddersfield Narrow Canal»

Come to Standedge Tunnel for a special extended boat trip and maybe a haunting experience in the tunnel, on Halloween night.

Enjoy a guided tour of the Huddersfield Narrow Canal with one of Britain’s top ghosthunters, David Vee. Following last years’ fantastic success, Standedge is hosting this mysterious and chilling experience once again, by offering the public the chance to join David and members of his paranormal team on board a narrowboat.

Venture into the highest, longest, deepest and eeriest tunnel in the country in a bone-tingling quest for ghosts, ghouls and all things creepy. Those that can hold their nerve will explore inside the haunted tunnel before venturing up to the visitor centre, where a vigil to connect with the paranormal world will be held. Go on, try it if you dare.

For those unable to handle the prospect of a frightening night out, and for younger spook-seekers, Standedge Tunnel will be hosting a series of Halloween themed boat trips into the tunnel, from Wednesday 29 to Friday 31 October.

People attending the fright night must be over 16 years old and will need to bring suitable warm clothing and footwear, and a packed snack. Non-alcoholic drinks will be provided.

The haunting experience with David Vee runs from 9pm – 3am, and costs £40 per person. For more information and to book your place, contact Simon Henry on 0113 281 6822 or Lesley Grogan on 0113 281 6850.
