Fantastic! So much fun and some really gruesome stories!” — Livvy Haydock, BBC GANGSTER

the best walking tour I’ve ever done” — @WeirdBristol on Twitter

creepy but totally captivating” — Theatre Bath

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.
