Step into the Shadows of York...

Prepare for a walking tour like no other! An immersive, educational journey through history. Dare to indulge in something different as you explore York’s dimly lit streets and eerie snickelways, where echoes of the past still linger...

Led by a charismatic witch guide, this unique and alternative tour uncovers captivating tales of those accused of witchcraft, and their ultimate fates. With every step along York's ancient cobbles, you’ll hear chilling accounts of Yorkshire’s witches, and the dark history that unfolded beneath your very feet.

This is more than just a tour; it’s an engaging, often enlightening, and ultimately uplifting experience that will leave you simply spellbound!

A word of caution, my dears: This is an outdoor walking tour, so be sure to dress for the weather!
