Event details

Come and hunt for masons’ marks in the 500-year-old Fishergate Postern Tower. We know there are at least 68, so why not see how many you can find?

With four floors, a spiral staircase and an unusually complete Tudor toilet, there’s plenty for all the family to explore.

Please note: Every person attending, whether a child or adult, needs to book an individual ticket for this event as numbers are limited.

Partial wheelchair access (ground floor only).
