Hallowscream Express 2026

This Halloween, the Scarborough North Bay Railway invites brave souls to step aboard the Hallowscream Express for a fangtastic time!

Designed to be spooky, not terrifying, your journey begins at Scareborough (Peasholm) Station, where our resident storyteller will weave a frightful tale of mystery and mischief to set the scene. Beware—every legend has a grain of truth…

With your courage summoned, board the train and set off on a spooky ride into the darkness. As the train travels along, keep your eyes peeled - you never know what might appear... 

Once safely returned to Scareborough Station, young travellers will be rewarded for their bravery with a Halloween gift bag.  

We aim to keep things family friendly, but please note, parental discretion is advised when booking as some scenes will be of a scary nature. When boarding, travellers have the choice of sitting in a green lit (spooky scare) or red lit (higher scare) coach.  At any time simply shout a secret code word and all scarers will retreat. 

Your best Halloween fancy dress is encouraged!

The experience will last for approximately 30 minutes.
