What You Will Do
Join us on an insightful walking tour of York, highlighting untold histories and diverse stories.
On the York Uncovered™ tour, you will go beyond the conventional stories of the city, hearing about the impact of women, people of colour, and LGBTQIA+ individuals from York's past.
This tour invites attendees to see beyond the stonework and uncover the lesser known narratives of York, while learning about the long and rich history of the medieval city. Walking through the beautiful city centre, you will discuss its early settlement, medieval expansion and vibrant industrial heritage.
This tour was written and researched by academic historians from the University of Oxford and is delivered by trained student guides from 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 vital international urban centre.
