Full description from organizer

Explore history and hops on a wild pub crawl inspired by the epic Wars of the Roses! Theatrical, dark, full of laughter and new friends. 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, hot snacks and packed with stories along the centuries of the pubs we’ll visit, you’ll be making friends for life. What’s included in your £25 ticket? • 4 Hours of Immersive Storytelling: We don't do boring around here. This is getting down to the nitty gritty, unapologetic, high energy and dripping in dark humour, led by experienced and professional Medieval Battlefield Guides, Katie and Elizabeth (who are also absolutely gorgeous). • 4 Historic Taverns: We've nabbed some of the best pubs in Leicester that are built on some of the most significant historical sites concerning the Wars of the Roses. Oozing with character, we've picked only the ones with the best stories- and with the friendliest staff. • Two Professional Battlefield Guides: Double the experience, double the gorgeous, and double your personal bodyguards and agony aunts. Consider us your personal 15th-century Messiahs for the evening. • Complimentary Hot Pub Snacks: We're not going to do this without fuel, so we've got what you need, right when you need it at our midway stop. • The Inner Circle Pass: VIP discounts on all future Truth & Tale tours and early access to secret seasonal getaways.
