Discover the toe-curling tales of the city...

...as two of their favourite Dungeon residents, the ever so bonkers & slightly sarcastic Dungeon Jester and our most ugliest & smelliest peasant Smedley, are being released onto the streets of the city to take little peasants and their families on a journey to discover York’s HAUNTED history, but in the safety of the sunlight.

On the Little Peasants City Walking Tour, there will be plenty to see, lots to learn and a barrel load of laughs with the Dungeon Jester & Smedley.

Learn about York’s most infamous rogues and heavenly saints including Dick Turpin, Guy Fawkes and the Pearl of York herself, Margaret Clitherow. Enjoy stories of Roman exploits and Viking invasions!

See York’s most spectacular sights including Clifford’s Tower, York Minster and The Shambles, just to name a few. And don’t forget the many tales of tragedy, horror, hangings and ghosts - Boo!

The Rules

• You must have a little peasant (child!) in your party to take on the Walking Tour and all tickets must be booked online in advance.
• Also, we demand... we mean... request that all peasants arrive promptly at the York Dungeon for their tour or else the Dungeon Jester and Smedley WILL leave you behind!

At the end of your tour, you will arrive at the Mansion House, where you will be greeted by the Lord Mayor of York and take a tour of one of York's most historic buildings, if you'd like.

All of the money raised will be donated to the Lord Mayor of York’s chosen charities.
