Chester Time Travel Tours: Victorian Tour
Picturehouse Square, outside Chester New Market, Chester, Cheshire, CH1 2AR
The Time Travel Commission has experienced a minor malfunction...their historical contacts have become lost. Some have ended up in unfamiliar locations but all are displaced in time. It is your job to fight, flyt, avoid the hangman's noose and then identify which time period they are from so that they can successfully get back to their own time!
Meet different characters on different days. Will you clash with Romans, such as gladiator, Carpophorus? Compose poetry with Vikings like Skald-Ratatoskr, a Scandinavian-Norse skald? Meet Tudor stonemasons on trial in the street? Befriend Victorian pawnbrokers or the mysterious Dark Prince?
On this Victorian tour you will meet Algernon Eccleston, Charles Dicken's fretful coachman and pawnbroker, keen to make a pretty purchase...assuming that he doesn't accidentally upset the clientele first!
Ideal for those in search of a shorter, more interactive, disability-accessible tour. No pre-booking needed, just turn up.
Two thousand years of local history in just sixty minutes!
