London may be one of
the most open and liberal cities in the world now, but our capital
has a long, dark history of witchcraft and persecution.
On this immersive theatre walking tour you will discover just that
as your guide, The High Priestess, welcomes you to her coven and
unveils to you the dark, devilish and downright unjust history of
witchcraft in London.
Starting at Farringdon and ending at St Pauls Cathedral, you will
meet some of the forgotten women who have been branded and
persecuted as witches throughout the ages in our city - from
medieval healers and Elizabethan social climbers, to pagan
priestesses and wartime mediums. They’ve come back, and they want
their stories to be heard… Explore the places that these 'witches'
were associated with, and some of the locations that were host to
occult activity, including a pagan temple, right in the heart of
the city! This journey promises to be spooky and moving with a
little bit of black humour thrown in for good measure.
So are you ready to be bewitched by London?
Tickets £15
including a 20% donation toward a host of restoration projects at
Brompton Cemetery.
ABOUT THE TOUR
GUIDE
Herstorical Tours are guided walking tours with a
difference. Created and led by women only, our tours focus on
women's stories in London's history and bring those stories to life
using acting, comedy and fun! With a special focus on the dark and
curious underbelly of London's past - we explore the hidden nooks
and crannies of the city whilst introducing you to the women that
created 'herstory' there - from witches to harlots.
