Explore history and hops on a wild pub crawl inspired by the epic Wars of the Roses!
This isn’t your usual history tour. This is dragging you back into 15th century life, kicking and screaming with a beer in hand. Learn if you could really survive medieval life, pick your weapon, create your survival strategy and have your knowledge tested as you visit some of the most historical pubs in Leicester. This isn’t just your usual knees up. This is facing the reality of your ancestors and reliving some of the most poignant moments in one of the bloodiest periods of history.
Filled with dark humour, group participation and packed with stories along the centuries of the pubs we’ll visit, you’ll be making friends for life.
