As we are heading into our 40th Birthday, kicking and screaming. We’ve creaked open our archives. Seems only fitting to have a little throwback with this attraction map from 2001.

Do you remember the days of the dusty wax figures or captured any memories you would like to share? Slide into our DMs for a chance to be featured in our Birthday celebrations!

Our Dungeon Dwellers and team will be venturing out into the daylight to support our friends at today.

We shall be walking the parade from 12noon and then doing a Turpin by hanging around The Knavesmire. Keep a beady eye on our stories for Dungeon Pride Takeover!

If you see us, come say how do peasants and snap a photo with our Judge, Torturer and Plague Doctors Assistant (leeches won’t be present) Don’t forget to tag us too!

Remember our core message, we might be medieval but our values to the community are not!

So don’t be medieval… no really… don’t…👀

Did you know we have been frightfully educating and entertaining peasants for 40 years this July!

Opened on 3rd July 1986 by Sir Fred Pontin, a founder of the Kunick Leisure Group. We are the second Dungeon attraction to open, following the London Dungeon in 1974.

We are now asking for your help, we are looking to hear from anybody who worked with us on the opening day or was part of the original team that opened and operated the York Dungeon back in 1986, to join us for our grand opening on the morning of Friday the 3rd July.

If you have any interesting stories about working here over the years; they may be funny, they may be scary, they may be both! If you do, we would love to hear from you!

To share your stories, or if you worked there back when the York Dungeon first opened in 1986. Then slide into our DMs!

Now then sweethearts, have we got news for you!

Very proud to share that the York Dungeon achieved the Best Bar None 2025/2026 accreditation, which means that we are a licensed venue who demonstrate a commitment to providing a safe, welcoming and responsible environment for our guests (even when we may threaten the odd spot of torture, ex*****on and being held up by Highwaymen!)

So from keeping you safe during our Dungeon Lates! To the stiff ones (drinks) sold in the gift shop!
