A georgian themed, alternative trail across the city, interspersed with live choral performances by York Theatre Royal's Resident Choir, from Fairfax House leading to The De Grey Rooms. Mary Tempest (played by Actor Edith Kirkwood) introduced the trail at the grand Fairfax house.
"Another great evening - loved the interactive Zappar app and the dancing!"
Digitally interactive newspaper stands revealed further segments of Mary's story, all written by local crime writer Helen Cadbury. Finally, at the De Grey Rooms, Hayley Del Sanderson encouraged everyone to experience the Georgian era through folk and regency dancing.
"Excellent ideas, singing, acting, concepts! The history was successfully brought to life and the tour style was fun, exciting, refreshing and creative. Mix of old and modern exciting and fun. Singing was fantastic!"
