Itinerary
1
Starting at the Beautifully hidden and historic George inn, we will begin by discovering where you are, how it began and what history has to hide about all the things we take for granted.
2
While coming on this historic site we will be exploring the area around to discover how the lives of ordinary people really was, how horrible it meant and what living so close to the river could mean.
3
While venturing through this wonderfully famous and eclectic market we will be exploring the history of what the market would really have been like going through the ages, and why you may want to pay more attention to where your standing and what's underneath!
4
We will be exploring the history of the area that surrounds the Cathedral and what mysteries it holds. What the Cathedral and its inhabitants did and how it's role in the community used to be very different in the past and how much it changed through time, be ready!
5
We will explore the area near by to discover many of the horrible realities of crime and more importantly and gruesomely entertaining reality of how that crime was dealt with and subsequently punished, as well as how far and wide spread was this problem and how bad did it really get...
6
Returning to the George Inn we will be learning about how it functioned and how it connected to all of the traumatising and horrific history you will have been discovering throughout the night. Just in time, to recover with a nice ale and regail the horror you have experienced!
