Witches of York Tour

Join us on this tour of the Witches of York to discover the darker side of this beautiful walled city. Chilling stories, ancient legends, and scary secrets await you!

Description

At the scheduled time, we'll meet beside the Whip-Ma-Whop-Ma-Gate sign, the shortest street in York with the longest name. From there, we will begin our tour of the witches.

We'll start by touring Shambles, leading us to the Minister Quarter, Petergate, and Stonegate. We'll discuss the legends surrounding the witches in this city, with a real witch revealing the history of the real witches of Yorkshire and the injustices they faced. Our walk continues through the cobblestone streets of York at sunset while learning about Mary Bateman.

Next, we will visit the church of St Crux, the largest medieval church in York, then move to King's Square and Bookbinders Alley to hear about a magic tree related to a witch's work.

In the oldest neighbourhood, the iconic Minister Quarter, we'll stop at a pub associated with a famous conspirator. We'll continue through Petergate hearing more scary stories and approach the impressive York Minister.

Finally, we'll walk through Stonegate to uncover even more sinister facts before returning to Shambles to conclude our tour.
