Whip-Ma-Whop-Ma-Gate

York's shortest street (with the longest name!), and a wonderfully whimsical place to set the scene for our enchanting walk around this spellbinding city!

5 minutes

Shambles

We'll take a wand-er up York's most iconic street, and the most enchanting street in the world! We'll pass shops selling peculiar potions and wizarding wares as we begin our search for magical creatures...

5 minutes

62-68 Low Petergate

Mad Alice Lane...we'd be mad not to stop here, as we search for that rare and mystical of birds...the phoenix! Will this magnificent creature ruffle a few feathers, and what bird-brained magic will our wizard get up to next?

10 minutes

The York Sweet Shop

Candy is dandy, and so we'll stop outside York Sweet Shop in search of our next magical creature! Got a sweet tooth? No time to snack, but find out about York's 'sweet' history!

10 minutes

York Minster

We'll walk in the shadows of York Minster, adorned with gargoyles, grotesques and all manner of peculiar creatures! We'll search for a rat from the city's plague era. Can a rat really do magic? And what 'tails' will be told next? Find out on this spellbinding tour!

St William's College

Next on our list is a magical mouse! Find out all about carpenter Robert 'Mousey' Thompson and watch in wonder as your wizard guide transforms a simple handkerchief into a white mouse and then brings it to life.

10 minutes

Bedern Hall

Our wizard walk continues through the backstreets of Bedern, as we work through our list of magical creatures in search of an elusive owl. Expect plenty of surprises along the way, it's always a hoot on The Wizard Walk of York!
