A new exhibition at the King Richard III Visitor Centre in Leicester focuses on the Wars of the Roses as the inspiration for the warring Houses of Stark and Lannister in Game of Thrones.
‘Murder, Mystery and Mayhem’ explores the tangled web of monarchy merry-go-rounds and some of the bloodiest battles fought on English soil, as it shows visitors the key characters, battles and events involved in the famous medieval wars.
The Centre says it’s the first opportunity it’s had to re-invest since it opened in July 2014.
Iain Gordon, Visitor Centre Director, says: “Since we opened nearly three years ago, our visitors have asked us lots of questions about England before King Richard III was on the throne, and specifically the Wars of The Roses.”
The exhibition is included in the admission price, which has been held for 2017 at £7pp for groups.
The Centre offers free entry for the tour leader/driver, free fam visits, and a personal welcome for the group.
