'Churchyard Mysteries' - All-Age Guided Tour
Newcastle Cathedral, St Nicholas Square, Newcastle upon Tyne, Tyne & Wear, NE1 1PF
Step into the stories of the past with this fascinating tour through the Cathedral churchyard – exclusively tailored for Heritage Open Days. Was Queen Victoria truly unamused by her visits to Newcastle? Why does a ‘Vampire Rabbit’ overlook the Cathedral? And are the legends true that a pirate is buried in the Cathedral grounds?
Delve into these mysteries on this fun-filled mini-tour, which lasts approximately 25-30 minutes.
