Haunted Leicester Historical Pub Crawl

This isn’t your usual haunted history tour. This is dragging you into the darkest depths of the grim and grisly reality of people now long gone. Hear the hanged man’s confessions as you huddle closer over your drink, as we visit some of the most historical and haunted pubs in Leicester.

Along the way, maybe you’ll hear the tortured wails of a king trapped beneath dirt and darkness for 500 years and ask yourself…

Has Richard III really been lain to rest?

And as we walk along the darkened streets of Leicester and peer back into the past- remember- on Halloween, the people of the past will be looking right back.

This isn’t just your usual knees up. This is facing the reality of your ancestors and reliving some of the most poignant moments in some of the bloodiest periods of history.

Filled with dark humour, group participation and packed with grisly tales along the centuries of the pubs we’ll visit, you’ll be making friends for life.
