Carlton After Dark at Carlton Towers: York’s £75 Halloween Ball

Carlton After Dark: Halloween Ball at Carlton Towers will bring an adults-only night of gothic dining, music and dressing-up to Carlton Towers Estate on Saturday 24 October 2026.

The event runs from 7pm to 11.45pm, with tickets listed at £75 per person. It is being held at Carlton Towers Estate, Carlton Towers, Carlton, Goole DN14 9LZ, and is aimed at adults looking for a themed Halloween evening built around dinner, music and a stately-home setting.

According to the Visit York event listing, tickets are available via the event website.

A Halloween dinner inside Carlton Towers

The evening is billed under the Carlton After Dark name, with Carlton Towers framing the night around gothic glamour and heritage atmosphere.

Guests are expected to arrive from 7pm, where the event description says a roaring open fire will welcome them before they move through the state rooms and take their seats for dinner. The main meal is a themed three-course dinner prepared by the venue’s chefs, with the menu still listed as coming soon.

The setting is part of the draw. Carlton Towers is presented in the event listing as one of Yorkshire’s stately homes, and the Halloween Ball leans into that backdrop with opulent rooms, a seasonal theme and an evening format rather than a drop-in attraction.

Dancing, dress-up and a best-dressed prize

The dress code is not given as a fixed requirement, but guests are encouraged to dress in theme. The source listing says there will be a prize for the best-dressed guest of the evening.

After dinner, the event moves into music and dancing, with a DJ in the Card Room until midnight. The published finish time is 11.45pm.

There will also be a themed photobooth, with props available and printed photos for guests to take away. That makes the event more of a full evening package than a dinner-only booking.

What to know before booking

The listing also mentions an option to extend the stay, with deluxe double or twin rooms for two available at £170 including breakfast the following morning. Single occupancy rates are available on request, and estate cottages are also listed as room-only.

No accessibility or transport details are included in the event information provided. The venue contact details shown on the Visit York listing include telephone +441405861662 and email info@carltontowers.co.uk.
