15 Jun 2024 – York

In a city famous for its ghosts, discover the true dark history of York. Our guide will take you on a wander of the delightfully grim streets of York, to be told haunting tales from two thousand years of blood coated history. You will hear of the grim history, foul deeds and of course the infamous hauntings that have earned York her reputation of being the most haunted city in England.

Immerse yourself in centuries of history at one of York's most iconic sites and experience stunning views over the ancient city. Built to subdue the rebellious north by William the Conqueror, Clifford’s Tower has been a royal mint, a medieval stronghold and a Civil War garrison. Today, a new roof deck gives unrivalled views over York's historic skyline, with its medieval buildings and famous Minster. Inside, new walkways and staircases have opened up parts of the tower that have been off-limits for centuries, and immersive soundscapes and stories are bringing the tower’s turbulent history to life like never before.

Bettys is famous for afternoon tea, and our tables are reserved in the Belmont Room, York. Enjoy a lavish selection of dainty sandwiches, specially selected teas and irresistible miniature cakes and scones. Put aside any concerns you may have about not feeling full: they’ll happily bring another pot of tea and a few more sandwiches to make sure you leave feeling content.
