Witches, wizards and gory stories in Exeter

Celebrate Halloween this October half-term at Exeter’s spooky Underground Passages.

Between 22–30 October there will be special ‘Witches & Wizards Tours’ where children are invited to explore under the city’s streets on special guided tours and discover ingredients for magic spells. Using the ingredients found, the young adventurers are challenged to concoct their own magic spell and enter it into a competition with the opportunity to win one of many fantastic prizes!

This year adults and children aged 14 years and over will have the opportunity to experience one of our evening ‘Gory Stories’ tours. These chilling tours explore the darker side of Exeter’s history, and take place with the lights off! Not for the faint hearted, this event taking place on Friday 28 and Saturday 29 October is guaranteed to make even the most hardened thrill seeker shiver!

Pre-booking is essential for all events.

A visit to Exeter’s Underground Passages includes an opportunity to experience an exhibition packed full of interactive exhibits, archaeological finds and a full scale model of a section of the Passages. Access for children under 5 years, wheelchairs and pushchairs is to the exhibition only.

Exeter’s Underground Passages are located in the city centre on Paris Street between the Next and Zara stores. Honiton Road and Sowton Park & Ride stops are located opposite the entrance. Alternatively use city centre car parking.
