Hex and the City

"...And have you heard (and I
have heard)
Of puzzled men with decorous
mien,
Who judged - the wench knew far
too much -
And burnt her on the Salem
green?”

London may be one of the most open and liberal cities in the
world now, but did you know that our capital has a long, dark
history of witchcraft and persecution?
On this immersive theatre walking tour you will discover just
that as your guide unveils to you the dark, devilish and downright
unjust history of witchcraft in London.
You will meet some of the forgotten women who have been branded
and persecuted as witches throughout the ages in our city -
from medieval healers and Elizabethan devil-worshippers to pagan
priestesses and wartime mediums. They’ve come back, and they want
their stories to be heard…
Explore the places that these 'witches' were associated with,
and some of the locations that were host to occult activity,
including a pagan temple, right in the heart of the
city!
This journey promises to be spooky and moving with a little bit
of black humour thrown in for good measure.
So are you ready to be bewitched by London?
Fancy dress encouraged!
Tour begins outside Farringdon tube Station and ends at St Pauls
Cathedral.
