About

Death rituals, brutal murders and animal escapes are just some of the fascinating stories from Wakefield’s incredible past that you will hear about on this immersive heritage tour by the ‘Round Our Way’ Team.


Incorporating iconic Georgian buildings, blue plaques, darkened streets and dangerous corners, this walk will thrill you with its content and keep you talking about what you’ve learnt long afterwards.


An entirely volunteer-led Dream Time Creative Production, these walks are delivered by women passionate about his and herstory, with infectious enthusiasm for storytelling, an interest in the dark and mysterious, a dramatic flair when delivering and look great in historical costumes!


This is a gentle, ambling walk (with some uphill sections) and the route is wheelchair friendly. Please dress appropriately for the weather.


Meet at Pemberton House, Westgate at 7pm, where the tales of Wakefield begin…
