About

Get ready to dive into the vibrant tapestry of black history right in the heart of the City of London! Join us throughout October for the Black History Month Special: City of London Black History Quest.

This isn't your typical history lesson - it's a lively adventure where you'll unravel the hidden stories of black history through clues, riddles, and puzzles. Starting at the charming St Mary Aldermanbury Garden, you'll embark on a quest to uncover tales of the first black residents of the City of London, how enslavement started and who was involved, and the courageous abolitionists who fought for justice. Your journey will culminate at The Guilt of Cane monument, where we'll reflect on the past and celebrate the promise of a brighter future.

Gather your friends and family or join a team on the day, and race against the clock to piece together a secret password. The first team to crack the code wins a prize, so bring your A-game and a sense of adventure! PS - there's a special category for the over 60s or people with mobility challenges.

Whether you're a history buff or just looking for a fun day out, this quest is sure to be an unforgettable experience. See you there!
