Another tourist must when visiting the historical city - a unique experience not to be missed!
Chester Medieval Tours provide hugely entertaining and historically accurate city tours of Chester from a Medieval perspective with a focus on medieval Chester in the year 1403.
Authentically dressed medieval soldiers will lead you around Chester highlighting significant events of the time when England was under the rule of King Henry IV but the rebellion of Henry ‘Hotspur’ Percy, his allies Owain Glyndwr and the Earl of Douglas, threatened his reign. You will learn of the reasons that lead to Hotspur rebelling against the King and about what life was like for the soldiers living in the city, particularly the famous and skilled, Cheshire longbowmen who were the former bodyguards to the crown.
Your medieval soldier will guide you around Chester to the following sights; Chester walls, Chester’s famous medieval rows, the Roman amphitheatre (you will be surprised what it was used for in the medieval period), Chester’s first Cathedral St. John’s. The River Dee looking over to Handbridge is where your tour will end and where your guide will recall the dramatic conclusion to the rebellion at the battle of Shrewsbury and the fate of the people of Chester.
Chester Medieval public tours run at 3 pm Monday to Friday and 1 pm on Saturdays (from 27 February) starting at the Tourist information office by the Town Hall.
