Gunpowder Plot at Hoghton Tower

Remember, remember the 5th of November….

Darkness stirs in the heart of London, treason hangs in the air as thickly as plague, and in the shadows beneath Parliament a plot is being prepared that could change the fate of England forever.  Step back into 1605 and walk the treacherous path with Guy Fawkes and the conspirators in this immersive, theatrical tour.  You won't just watch history; you'll live it.

Be part of the moments leading to a near catastrophe.  Guided by actors who will lead you through secretive meetings and thrilling encounters from the initial spark of the plot to the explosive and deadly ending.

'Lancashire, that dark corner of England, which is a breeding ground for witches and traitors', King James the First.

Duration: two hours.

Age restrictions: the tour is not suitable for anyone under 12 years.  All participants under 16 years must be accompanied by an adult.
