BEHIND THE SCENES

The Deathly Dark Tours is a small, family business, run by Dorian and Dede Deathly from their creepy office on The Shambles in York. Dorian is the ideas man, he writes the shows and trains the guides, whilst Dede is in charge of operations and customer service. There is also Dougie, the French Bulldog, he does absolutely nothing, but everyone seems to love him!

Dede

Dougie

Dede is an actress both on stage and in your ears, but she can usually be found behind the Deathly ticket desk
Dougie is a small, brown French Bulldog with dreams of grandeur. He doesn't run tours, but can often be found in the office

about us

The Deathly Dark Tours launched in 2020, when everyone was locked in their homes. We decided to film our evening walks around York and share some spooky stories onto Facebook. It started out with just Dorian and Dede, then eventually we needed some help to keep up with demand, and we now have FIVE guides! Please note we can't guarantee which guide will be leading a public tour, but please get in touch if you want to see someone in particular!
