The walking tours are open to the public, and have been devised by John Oxley FSA in response to public interest in the identification of the monarch’s remains and as part of the collaborative Richard III: Rumour and Reality project.

This series of walks were fully booked out last Autumn and, as planned, are being run again.

I’m delighted to see this adding to the breadth and interest of the city-wide Richard III: Rumour and Reality programme that is helping shed more light on the man and monarch – more information is at http://richardiii-ipup.org.uk/ .”

The dates are as follows and each tour will last approx 90mins
