Halloween events at Standedge Tunnel on Friday 30th & Saturday 31st October
Our Spooky boat will take you from the lock by Marsden railway station on a very scary trip to Standedge Tunnel. The boat crew will be in Halloween garb (no set fare but donate what you are able to our charity). The boat runs the short trip all day long, backwards and forwards. A very?? Scary (slightly) Trips Starts 11am until approx 4pm
On reaching Tunnel End spot the scary room.
The Standedge Tunnel, the wonkiest in the world, will be the setting for the Underworld, with the Canal and River Trust’s trip boat making frequent journeys along the River Styx, ferrying lost souls to their maker.
For those who return – and those who are too afraid to sample the dark – there is the Watersedge Café. Here, the volunteers work overtime to satiate the hunger and thirst of the massed throngs.
On site there will be a graveyard trail, pizzas at the North of England Centre for Music & Arts, face painting, and other activities.
Halloween events at Standedge Tunnel are jointly promoted by the Huddersfield Canal Society, Friends Of Standedge, North of England Centre for Music & Arts and Canal & River Trust
