Organiser Adrian, who is an author and will lead the walks, said: “For Halloween itself we're going all out with the most grisly and gruesome stories from the city's dark history - you do not want to miss it!

“There’s two distinct routes, one around Norton/ Graves Park, taking in the infamous Bunting Nook, whilst the other is around the city centre.

“This city centre walk is a circular route starting and ending on Tudor Square at the side of Sheffield Central Library, is a little over a mile long, and is fully wheelchair/ mobility scooter accessible.

“From the venue of an old Victorian autopsy theatre to the sight of a more recent tragedy, it’s going to be packed full of great stories, including the unlikely origin of a very Sheffield swear word, plus on top of that we even take a trip to Paradise and experience the heart of old Sheffield.

“The other walk is also a circular route starting and ending on the public footpath outside St James Church at Norton, is also about a mile long, and is fully wheelchair / mobility scooter accessible.

“Norton and the general Graves Park area of Sheffield has more than its fair share of ghosts and legends. From huge devil dogs to ghostly carriages plus it is the home to Bunting Nook. A road widely considered to be one of the most haunted in the whole of England!”
