Blood and Butchery in Bedminster
Our tour features in 2023’s new BBC Sounds podcast GANGSTER: THE STORY OF JOHN PALMER. Presenter Livvy Haydock came to Bedminster to record it and you can hear the trailer on BBC Sounds »

Bedminster’s older than Bristol, and our 5★ walking tour takes you to extraordinary, forgotten places where amazing things happened.
Grave robbers and body snatchers, concrete coffins and hanging judges – and the missing millions from Britain’s biggest robbery, laundered in Bedminster.
You’ll see places and people you didn’t know existed, and by the end of the evening Bedminster will never seem the same again.
