Shaun Knapp will lead a tour exploring Leicester’s Old Town after dark, revealing Roman foundations and medieval buildings beneath the modern streets. This event takes place at Leicester Museum & Art Gallery on 31 October 2026.
With tour guide Shaun Knapp
Dare you explore Leicester’s Old Town after dark? Beneath the modern bustle lie Roman foundations, medieval buildings and centuries of unresolved history. Step into a world of mystery, folklore and the unexplained as you wind your way through narrow passageways and dimly lit streets as chilling tales emerge of restless spirits, ghostly apparitions and legends that refuse to stay buried. Visit places where footsteps are heard with no one there, where shadows move of their own accord and where disembodied voices are said to whisper secrets into the cold night air…
IMPORTANT You will be told the tour start location on the Booking Details PDF which will be sent by email once you have purchsed your ticket (the tour does not start at Leicester Museum & Art Gallery)
