Ghosts in the City - Madimi, Dee and the Unquiet Spirits of Manchester, a walking tour with Jonathan Schofield

The tour is an entertaining and informative descent into the murky, uncertain world of the lost spirit and includes a visit into a dark area under a very special Manchester building. The businesses above this strange location, shiver to visit the place and refer to it as ‘the death space’. There will be tales of Dr John Dee, the mischievous giggling sprite Madimi, Bonnie Prince Charlie's tragic volunteers, Lavinia Robinson's beautiful corpse and much more.

Meet: Outside Manchester Cathedral, south porch.

Time: 3pm

Duration: 1.5 hours
