THE POLITE TOURIST PRESENTS:

A SATURDAY EVENING WALK IN SCARBOROUGH - SLEEPLESS IN SCARBORO'

As dusk beckons, why not walk awhile with The Polite Tourist as they peel back the long shadows which lurk just out of view in the seaside town of SCARBOROUGH?

For those of a curious and hardy temper – why not come along and listen to The Polite Tourist one SATURDAY evening in SCARBOROUGH as they share with you the tales of those ordinary folk including the tragedy of an unwanted child, and the mystery of a besotted spouse.

Hear also of the poignant tale of a confused domestic servant and a father's callous behaviour.

And ALL lost to history – until now!

THE POLITE TOURIST OFFERS CRIME WALKS THROUGH THE ANNALS OF VICTORIAN HISTORY.

THROUGH YORK. THROUGH SCARBORO' AND BEYOND.

Find yourself spirited back to the cruel streets and darkened passageways of a Victorian world and to a place where death was ever present.

And as you walk along the old, unquiet streets and through the dark and crooked labyrinths to a Victorian yesteryear of death and despair, crime, disorder, murder and mayhem – the long forgotten tales of those folk who once lay claim to these streets will be revealed.

Innovative, meticulously researched and with inspiration drawn of the true crime stories from the long Victorian era – our walks are designed to offer an informative and unique experience with a professional and spirited storyteller. 

YOUR STORYTELLER -

The celebrated Lady Brigante – a sleuth of infamy, wanderer of unquiet graveyards and the bête noire of the long forgotten dead.
