About this Event
This isn’t your usual haunted history tour. This is dragging you into the darkest depths of the grim and grisly reality of people now long gone. Hear the hanged man’s confessions as you huddle closer over your drink, as we visit some of the most historical and haunted pubs in Leicester.
Along the way, maybe you’ll hear the tortured wails of a king trapped beneath dirt and darkness for 500 years and ask yourself…
Has Richard III really been lain to rest?
And as we walk along the darkened streets of Leicester and peer back into the past- remember- on Halloween, the people of the past will be looking right back.
This isn’t just your usual knees up. This is facing the reality of your ancestors and reliving some of the most poignant moments in some of the bloodiest periods of history.
Filled with dark humour, group participation and packed with grisly tales along the centuries of the pubs we’ll visit, you’ll be making friends for life.
What’s included in your £25 ticket?
- 4 Hours of Immersive Storytelling: We don't do boring around here. This is getting down to the nitty gritty, unapologetic, high energy and dripping in dark humour, led by experienced and professional Medieval Battlefield Guides, Katie and Elizabeth (who are also absolutely gorgeous).
- 4 Historic Taverns: We've nabbed some of the best pubs in Leicester that are built on some of the most significant historical sites concerning the Wars of the Roses. Oozing with character, we've picked only the ones with the best stories- and with the friendliest staff.
- Two Professional Battlefield Guides: Double the experience, double the gorgeous, and double your personal bodyguards and agony aunts. Consider us your personal 15th-century Messiahs for the evening.
- Complimentary Hot Pub Snacks: We're not going to do this without fuel, so we've got what you need, right when you need it at our midway stop.
- The Inner Circle Pass: VIP discounts on all future Truth & Tale tours and early access to secret seasonal getaways.
