York Residents' Festival 2027
IN CELEBRATION OF YORK RESIDENTS' 2027 FESTIVAL - THE WOEFUL WALKS OF YORK PRESENTS A TRUE CRIME WALK WITH A SPECIAL TICKET PRICE EXCLUSIVELY FOR RESIDENTS OF THE CITY OF YORK.
For those of a curious and hardy temper – why not come along and listen to THE DEAD SLEUTH on FRIDAY 29 JANUARY and SATURDAY 30 JANUARY 2027 as they share with you tales of the forgotten folk of York.
And ALL lost to history – until now!
However, for those of a sensitive nature averse to true tales of heartache and tragedy – an evening walk with THE DEAD SLEUTH on the final weekend of JANUARY in the City of YORK may NOT be to your liking.
T&C : A valid YORK CARD or identity card with proof of York Residency MUST be offered prior to the beginning of your Woeful Walk.
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 be 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.
OUR SLEUTH AND YOUR STORYTELLER -
