THE PLAN

6.30 -7pm • Arrival at Ye Olde House
7-8pm • Hour of silent reading upstairs
8-8.15pm • Gathering outside for the tour to begin
8.15 -9.15pm • Walking tour in a circuit to return back to Ye Olde House after 1hr+ 

Join The Silent Book Club in association with ‘Amazing Hull Tours’ Mike Covell for an evening of dark deeds, curious characters, and evil events in the history of Hull. 

After the hour of silent reading together, local historian, author, and tour guide, Mike Covell, will be taking us on a walking tour through the streets on a walking tour of dark times of our fair city. 

The circuit route will shine a light on stories of bad luck, foolish behaviour, and devilishly dark deeds!!! 

THE VENUE 

Arrive from 6.30pm at Ye Olde House, which originates from circa 1450 and has its own blue plaque confirming it’s the oldest domestic dwelling and only surviving timber-framed house in Hull.

You’ll find yourself in a cosy yet surprisingly bright café-bar owned and run by a wonderfully warm and welcoming sibling team who will direct you upstairs into the front room where we are gathering. 

Peppered with period features, this charasmatic venue with its exposed beams and 500 year old features offer a truly unique ambiance. 

The spirits are also plentiful downstairs too as the bar will be open for alcoholic beverages, hot and cold drinks are available to buy and food (which is wonderful, might I add) can be ordered until 9pm.  Sausage rolls were a mega hit and sold out fast! 

OUR GUEST

Kindly joining us after our hour of silent reading is Mike Covell, Hull historian, prolific author, paranormal expert, to name but a few strings to his bow. Also the man behind ‘Amazing Hull Tours’ with a penchant for the dark and mysterious.  

PLEASE NOTE 

This is a grade II listed building so I’m afraid it may not be accessible for everyone as our event will take place up a flight of stairs in the front room. 

Our room is private but the venue is open to the public just to make you aware. 

Only 22 places are available, limited to ensure insurance adequately covers the event. 

All tickets are non-refundable so please ensure you can make the date before payment is taken.
