Creepy crawlies, ghosts, ghouls and a spooky atmosphere will await you at the Ghostly Gaslight Halloween event at Blists Hill Victorian Town, near Ironbridge, Shropshire on the evening of Saturday, 30th October. Come dressed in your most frightening costume to ward off the mischievous sprits, which will play havoc in the dark and watch out for things that go bump in the night!





As dusk falls spooky antics are expected to replace the normal everyday activities that take place at the open-air museum.  The street lamps will cast eerie shadows at every corner and weird apparitions will replace the friendly Victorians who are usually seen in the town’s shops, cottages and work places. Watch out for the village carpenter who will be nailing victims in his coffin. 





This popular fun event will start at 6pm with admission strictly limited to 3,000 people. Tickets, priced at £9 adults and £5 children under 16 and in full time education, must be purchased in advance from either the entrance to Blists Hill or the Ironbridge Visitor Information Centre. They are also available by post by calling 01952 884 391 (plus £2 p&p for each postal transaction). All under 16s must be accompanied by an adult, tickets will not be available on the gate and Passports are not valid for this evening. No dogs will be allowed. 





Parking is limited at the venue and priority will be given to blue badge holders.  In addition, a Park & Ride service will be available from the Darby House car park in Telford town centre from 5pm onwards at a cost of £1 per adult and 50p per child.





A combined family ticket (two adults and two children) is also available for both Ghostly Gaslight and the Fireworks Night on 6th November, for £48, saving £8.  Details of both events can be found on www.ironbridge.org.uk.
