Manchester Histories Festival - 24 February - 4 March 2012

Lip Service: The Hysterical Historical Walking Tour

Presented by Creative Tourist

THIS EVENT IS NOW SOLD OUT, SORRY!

Cult theatre company and comedy due Lip Service will act as your guides on the Hysterical Historical Walking Tour - an outdoor promenade that is part-theatre, part-walking tour, part-tea-and-cakes and a 100% passionate tribute to the women who made Manchester.

Join the redoubtable Audrey and Olivia, stalwarts of the WI, as they take to the streets to meet notorious gossip Mrs Gaskell, challenge a rather contradictory Marie Stopes, and stage a protest with the ever radical Pankhursts. Nothing is sacred. Weaving in and out of some of Manchester's loveliest buildings, the afternoon tour only concludes with an elegant afternoon tea at The Midland Hotel in Audrey and Olivia's exalted company.

Previous performances have sold out so book now on this limited capacity tour. Expect a fair bit of walking, steps, cobbles and rain.

Departing from the Royal Exchange Theatre Box Office, St Anne's Square, M2 7DH

 - 11.15am tour ends 1.15pm

 - 2.15pm tour endes around 4.45pm and includes a posh afternoon tea at the Midland Hotel

Both tours finish at The Midland Hotel.
