Join your characterful witch guide and hear the true historical tales of suspected Yorkshire witches across the ages. Your friendly costumed guide will enchant you on this exciting escapade, seamlessly weaving history with vibrant storytelling.
But did these Yorkshire 'witches' really deserve their fates? Cross York’s cobbles and uncover the truth about the likes of Mad Alice - was she driven to insanity? How about John Wrightson, was he really a "Wrong-son"? Mary Bateman; wise woman or simply a murderer? And did Margaret Clitheroe really deserve her terrible ending…?
Delve into some fascinating York history along the way too as you're transported through the twists and turns of York's gates (streets!) and snickelways. You’ll shuffle down Shambles, sidle through King's Square, amble along “Bookbinders Alley” and saunter down Stonegate. The breathtakingly iconic York Minster cannot be missed, and your guide will happily point out a pub where a very famous plotter once lived. You’ll learn of hauntings, meet a certain little red devil and discover a building hidden away for decades…
In an experience that brings together true stories, history, and a wisdom that we can learn from our terrible ways of the past, you are sure to be enthralled by this enchanting city and the stories of Yorkshire’s so-called witches.
Don’t miss the chance to join York’s wonderful Witches & History Walking Tour and see the city as you never have before…
*Please note this is an outdoor walking tour so dress for the weather, my dears!
