Come on into The Guy Fawkes Inn on High Petergate at 7pm. If you're early tell a member of staff that you're there for the tour, and they will take care of you until the tour begins. I'll be in the bar area, hopefully recognisable from my yellow coat and my pictures from this listing.

Itinerary

1. Guy Fawkes Inn

Guy Fawkes Inn — Birthplace of Treason Our story of treachery begins at the Guy Fawkes Inn, birthplace of York’s most infamous figure. Beneath ancient beams and flickering candlelight, you’ll step into the world of secret plots and deadly conspiracies. Here, we trace Guy Fawkes’ path from a boy of York to the architect of one of England’s most daring acts of rebellion — the Gunpowder Plot. Dark secrets and whispered betrayals await, as we delve into the heart of a scheme that could have changed the course of history forever.

Duration: 15 mins

2. King's Manor

King’s Manor — Power, Politics, and Betrayal At King’s Manor, the story of York darkens further. Once the seat of royal power under Henry VIII, these walls bore witness to the brutal realities of rebellion and control. Discover how the King's iron grip on the North was forged — and how York’s citizens navigated a world where loyalty was a matter of life or death.

Duration: 15 mins

3. The Last Drop Inn

The Last Drop Inn — A Final Toast to the Damned The night grows darker as we arrive at the chilling Last Drop Inn, a place forever linked to York’s bloodstained past. At the Last Drop Inn, the condemned of York took their final drink before facing execution. Their crimes, their desperate bargains, their final moments — all haunt these ancient walls. We remember their forgotten stories, and a time when death was just a heartbeat away.

Duration: 15 mins

4. Shrine of Saint Margaret Clitherow

The Shrine of Margaret Clitherow — A Silent Sacrifice At the Shrine of Margaret Clitherow, we find the story of a woman who defied the crown and paid with her life. Her death — brutal and unjust — echoes through York’s dark past, a reminder of the courage it takes to stand against tyranny.

Duration: 15 mins

5. Blue Boar

The Blue Boar — York’s Highwayman Haunt Our path twists into legend and infamy as we reach The Blue Boar, a place where the ghost of York’s most notorious highwayman, Dick Turpin, still seems to linger. Beneath the legend lies a darker truth of violence, betrayal, and death.

Duration: 15 mins

6. Clifford's Tower

Clifford’s Tower — Where Rebellion Fell At Clifford’s Tower, York’s brutal past is written in stone and blood. From Robert Aske’s doomed uprising to Roger Clifford’s tragic fall, this is a place where rebels died and kings tightened their grip on power. Their ghosts linger still. (This part of the tour will take place outside of Clifford's Tower, so no admission fee is necessary).

Duration: 15 mins
