Join me this Sunday for an exploration of not only Richard III’s final visits to Leicester in 1485, but also the events leading up to and including his reinterment in 2015, from my perspective of part of the team that helped to rebury him! 👑👑👑

Guided tour in Leicester this Sunday 11th October 2026.

Hidden Histories: The Final Journeys of Richard III

To mark the anniversary of the historic Battle of Bosworth, discover not only the routes of Richard III's fateful last journeys in and out of Leicester city centre in 1485 but also the odyssey undertaken by those charged with reburying the last Plantagenet in 2015.

Jim Butler will be your tour guide. Jim, who was part of the team charged with reburying the King, explores some of the places around Leicester that Richard would have known in life as well as some of the behind-the-scenes work undertaken to honour the king in death.
