What do we do?
Your local guide, Emma, will take you on a circular walk of Beverley to immerse you in the history of a town that has developed and flourished over more than 1,000 years.
You'll follow the town's medieval street pattern, visit the bustling market and some historic pubs and witness the splendour of our gothic Minster.
While this is first and foremost a history tour, you will also have the opportunity to sample at least seven locally produced foods and drinks, so you'll be soaking up the sights, sounds and tastes of one of England's most quintessential, historic market towns.
Now, are you ready to take a bite out of Beverley's history?
Supporting local
As part of our tour, we want to showcase and support our local, independent food and drink scene here in Beverley. And there are so many places we could include. But as we don't have all day, nor do we have stomachs big enough, we've had to curate the places you visit to ensure you get a variety of food and drink along the route. Your ticket price helps to cover the cost of everything you eat and drink.

Meet your guide
Hi, I’m Emma, a proud resident of Beverley with a deep passion for its rich and fascinating history.
My journey into Beverley’s past truly began when I became a roof guide at our stunning medieval Minster - a role I still have today. This awe-inspiring building, dominating the town’s skyline for centuries, ignited my curiosity and encouraged me to discover even more about the town’s remarkable heritage.
History is woven into the very fabric of Beverley; it’s impossible to ignore. It shapes our modern street patterns, reveals itself inside shops and historic buildings, lingers in the market squares, and even speaks through the names of our streets.
Living here means walking through layers of history every day, and I love discovering and sharing the stories that make Beverley so unique.
