Family Witches & History Tour of York – Experience for Four
Uncover York’s witchy past on a fun family adventure!
£62.00 FOR A FAMILY OF FOUR
Step into a world of magic, mystery and mischief on this spellbinding walking tour through York’s wicked past – perfect for curious kids and history-loving grown-ups alike!
Led by a wonderfully witty witch in full costume, this family experience brings the real stories of Yorkshire’s most infamous suspected witches to life. Expect jaw-dropping tales, gruesome gossip, and a few giggles along the way as you explore the city’s ancient snickelways and hidden corners.
Will you side with Mad Alice or question her madness? Was Mary Bateman a healer – or something more sinister? And what’s the deal with that cheeky red devil lurking in York’s shadows? From Stonegate to Shambles, you’ll uncover all the juicy (and occasionally spooky) stories that textbooks leave out.
Your enchanting guide will make this an exciting, educational adventure for the whole family (recommended for age 5+). Along the way, you’ll pass iconic landmarks like York Minster and stumble across secret spots even locals don’t know about.
Whether you’re raising a little history buff or just want a family day out with a difference, this magical tour delivers a truly unique experience you’ll all be talking about long after the broomsticks have parked.
