Hidden Street Tours
A fascinating tour of the historic hidden street and undercroft lying beneath The Shoebox.
Come join our tour, led by a local storyteller, history enthusiast and performer. Journey with us down two flights of stairs to explore the layers of architecture dating from the 15th century.
Hidden below Castle Meadow, between the market and the Norman Keep, you can discover the past of our fine city, with its trades, houses and people. Ponder the myths of eerie prison cells, hidden streets and curious tunnels. Come help us unlock the many mysteries of this space…
This tour is unfortunately not wheelchair accessible as it involves two flights of steep stairs and uneven flooring.
