The Ghosts Of Yuletide Past
WITH A NOD TO THE WINTER FESTIVAL - THE WOEFUL WALKS OF YORK PRESENT THE GHOSTS OF YULETIDE PAST.
For those of a curious and hardy temper – why not come along and listen to THE DEAD SLEUTH one WEDNESDAY, THURSDAY, SATURDAY or SUNDAY evening through the month of DECEMBER as they share with you tales of forgotten folk for whom the celebration of Yuletide would sadly be their last.
Hear of the story of the retired cobbler, a tragic war wife, and a dreadful river accident.
And ALL lost to history – until now!
However, for those of a sensitive nature averse to true tales of heartache and tragedy – a Yuletide walk with THE DEAD SLEUTH one DECEMBER evening in the City of YORK may NOT be to your liking.
THROUGH THE UNQUIET STREETS OF YORK - WOEFUL WALKS OFFER NIGHTLY TALES OF MYSTERY, MURDER AND MAYHEM FROM THE ANNALS OF VICTORIAN HISTORY.
As dusk beckons, and as the long shadows which lurk just out of view are gently peeled away - 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, murder and mayhem – the long forgotten lives of those folk who once claimed these streets as their own will be revealed.
Innovative and meticulously researched - Woeful Walks of York offer a uniquely informative experience with a mettlesome storyteller.
