Yuck Yard at The Historic Dockyard

18th October - 26th October 2025

This October half term, dare to join us for one of the spookiest Halloween events in Kent – a ghostly trail and live show packed with eerie fun for brave children and grown-ups alike.

This October half term, dare to join us for one of the spookiest Halloween events in Kent – a ghostly trail and live show packed with eerie fun for brave children and grown-ups alike. Children are encouraged to come along in their spookiest fancy dress to add to the adventure.

For centuries, sailors have whispered about the MEDWAY PHANTOM, a warship that vanished off the coast of Kent in a violent storm. Some say the crew was cursed after stealing treasure from the deep. 

Now, the wreck has resurfaced in the murky waters of the River Medway, bringing with it ghostly whispers, slimy horrors and a secret buried in the deep. 

Her final message was lost and scattered across time. Can you uncover the clues and expose the truth behind her fate? 

On arrival you’ll receive your Log Book. Follow the trail, seek out the last survivors and piece together the evidence. With your special decoder you may be the one to unlock the PHANTOM’s secret.

Will you brave the ghostly warship and discover the secrets hidden below?

The Last Survivors LIVE Show

10.30am, 12pm, 1.30pm and 3pm

This 20 minute interactive show runs at regular intervals each day, drawing you into the heart of the story. Feel the storm rise around you, help summon its sounds and stand among the cursed crew. Listen closely, they may slip you a clue for your Log Book before slipping back into the dark.

Yuck Yard is perfect for families looking for spooky days out in Medway, bursting with gross-out giggles, creepy fun and curious discoveries.
