A flickering candlelight into the darkest recesses of Chester’s 2,000-year heritage, illuminating tales of plague, poltergeists and religious persecution amongst others.

It’s a 90-minute walking tour, hosted early evening, and a storytelling stroll with plenty of dark humour and Horrible Histories-style tale. Dark Chester runs special tours during the Chester Heritage Festival, including visits to places associated with dark tales.Please contact me for details, and follow my Instagram @darkchestertour for images and videos from the tour.

Join me and let’s take a walk on the dark side.

• This is a walking tour, so elder seniors or younger children may find the 90-minutes duration too tiring.
• This is a public group tour, so it requires a level of mobility to stay with the group.

For a full refund, cancel at least 24 hours before the scheduled departure time.
