Witches Walking Tour

Join your characterful witch guide and hear the true
historical tales of suspected Yorkshire witches across the ages. Delve into
fascinating pieces of York’s history along the way too; secrets of St Crux
Church, York Minster, Petergate, Swinegate and so very much more await on this
character led walking tour.

Your friendly costumed guide will enchant you on this
exciting escapade, seamlessly weaving history with vibrant storytelling. Did
these real Yorkshire witches 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 murderer? And did Margaret Clitheroe really deserve her fate…?
You make your own mind up on this educational journey to the past.

Be transported through the twists and turns of York’s gates
(streets!) and snickelways. You will shuffle down Shambles, hop through King’s
Square, amble along “Bookbinders Alley” and saunter down Stonegate. The
breathtakingly iconic York Minster cannot be missed, and your faithful guide
will happily point out a pub where a very famous plotter 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 tour, and city.

Don’t miss the chance to join York’s wonderful Witches &
History Walking Tour and see things as you never have before…
