The huge, imposing Victorian Standedge Warehouse, part of the Canal & River Trust charity, will host the disco in its atmospheric Thomas Bourne Room and for the £5 entry fee, there will also be face-painting and Halloween-themed treats. Children are encouraged to come in fancy dress Halloween costumes and there will be a prize for the best dressed children in two categories 0-5 years old and 6-11 years old.

Sam Christopher, Duty Manager, Standedge Tunnels, said: “Standedge Tunnels is one of West Yorkshire’s most evocative industrial heritage sites and the perfect atmospheric backdrop for a Haunted Halloween Disco. This promises to be a memorable event, packed with Halloween fun. We warmly welcome everyone along.”

Standedge Tunnels is a 200-year old, Grade II-listed site and is known as one of the wonders of the British waterways because it has the country’s highest, longest and deepest canal tunnel. Opened over 200 years ago, the construction of the tunnel represented industrial engineering at its finest, showing unprecedented technical ingenuity.
