Overview

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.
