Step into York’s darker past on the spellbinding Witches & History Walking Tour with 50% off this weekend!
Join your characterful costumed witch guide as you uncover the true stories of Yorkshire’s so-called witches - blending real history with theatrical storytelling.
Did they deserve their grim fates? Wander York’s ancient cobbles and uncover the truth behind Mad Alice, the infamous Mary Bateman, “Wrong-son” John Wrightson, and the tragic Margaret Clitheroe. Were they villains, victims… or something in between?
Explore York’s atmospheric snickelways and medieval streets, from the Shambles and King’s Square to Bookbinders Alley and Stonegate. Along the way, marvel at York Minster, hear tales of hauntings, meet a mischievous red devil, discover a long-hidden building, and spot a pub once home to a notorious plotter.
Packed with fascinating history, dark folklore and powerful lessons from the past, this immersive walking tour reveals a side of York you’ve never seen before.
Please note: this is an outdoor walking tour, so dress for the weather, my dears!
