What you can expect

  • Uncover the unconventional characters of York on a guided walk through the historic centre. Go beyond traditional narratives and highlight the unheard stories of women, LGBTQIA+ individuals, and people of colour.

    Uncover the lesser-known narratives of York, while learning about the long history of the medieval city. Walk through the beautiful city centre and discuss its early settlement, medieval expansion, and deep industrial heritage.

    This tour was written and researched by academic historians from the University of Oxford and is delivered by trained researchers from the University of York. It asks questions that provoke new ways of seeing the city landscape and its history, encouraging attendees to see York as more than a small English city, and instead as a vibrant international urban centre.
