Free Tower Dungeons pass for A-Level Students who get a Grade D or below in history exams

As anticipation, and anxiety, builds for those awaiting their A-Level results, many students may be easing their nerves by questioning, if it really matters what grade they get. Well, actually it does. Those who ‘flunk out’ with a Grade D or below in their History exam can take their ‘rubbish’ results along to The Dungeons in return for free entry - and access to the truly interesting and dark, uncensored history that went over their heads the first time.

Instead of letting ‘horrendous’ history grades ruin their summer, The London, York, and Blackpool Dungeon will reward students with a free ticket to visit on 17 or 18 August 2023, where they can learn some sordid and dark British history, as they leave their exam result woes in the past.

Students can descend into the chilling darkness and get clued up on Royal Tudor history in the new Rotten Royals show at the London Dungeon, as they expose the outrageous accusations that led to Anne Boleyn’s execution. Venturing into the depths of the York Dungeon, students will be thrown back to 1455 and into the heart of the Wars of Roses, as guards hunt for Yorkist traitors trying to steal the crown. Whilst at Blackpool, students will find themselves facing the Executioner in the midst of the Torture Chamber at Lancaster Castle. There’s plenty to be learnt at The Dungeons as you witness the Plague Doctor in action, get tested by the Torturer and joke with the jester, and the best part – there's no history exam to sit at the end of it all.

A Dungeon’s spokesperson said, “There are scarier things in life than short-term exam result setbacks and we don’t want to let that kill your summer vibe. So, this year we’re celebrating those who got a horrendous history result and turning those rotten exam papers into a golden ticket. Those disappointed with exam performance can instead get a gruesome (and more interesting) history lesson with a difference and swot up on the knowledge they missed the first time!”

How can I get free entry to the Blackpool Tower Dungeon?
