Mind the Cobbles: York's Gruesome True History
Advertisement
York looks beautiful. It was also one of the most brutal cities in Britain.
About this Event

Join Dark History UK for a live, 90-minute walk through York's true-crime history: treason, M**der, plague, and public punishment. Your guide performs the stories in the very places they happened, the lanes, corners and courtyards most visitors walk straight past.
Every walk is capped at 25 people so that you can hear every word.
Stand where it happened and find out who was caught, who was condemned and how York dealt with them. It's a night out you'll still be talking about long after the weekend: great for couples, friends, birthdays and families with children aged 10 and over. And with only 25 places, you're never lost in a crowd.
Every Friday and Saturday in October, including Halloween night (Sat 31 Oct).
All walks must be pre-booked, and places are limited, so book now.

Meet outside The Punchbowl - please note that the pub is not the organiser of this walk!
