A Guided Tour of Reading Town Centre

We're delighted to have Terry Dixon (who organises Terry's Reading Walkabouts) to give us A Guided Tour of Reading Town Centre. Come and join us for a wonderful opportunity to find out about some of the history of Reading. All Welcome.

Terry will provide us with a guided walk of about two miles through Reading town centre, lasting around two and a half hours. Along the way we'll hear about the history of Forbury Gardens, Reading Abbey, war and battles, famous people and 5B's, two myths with some wonderful stories, and two powerful women from Reading's past.

Terry organises historical guided walks of Reading on a regular basis. They are all well researched and provide a fascinating insight into the history of Reading and its people. You can find out more about Terry's other walks on his Facebook Page: Terry's Reading Walkabouts

We'll meet at 9.50 am on Saturday 19th July outside The Three Guineas in front of Reading station. The walk will end at Castel Street. Optionally, we'll be able to have a drink and some lunch if you wish. You'll also be to talk to Terry about the places, events, and people he covered on the walk.

Please bring a cash donation of £5 or £10 per adult, and £1 per child over five. Proceeds will go to The Ways & Means Trust, a great local charity, who are helping adults with learning, physical, or mental health disabilities. They provide social and practical skills for independent living, training, socialisation, and work experience opportunities to assist adults to lead rewarding lives, realise their potential and to build their confidence.

Note that you are required to register for this event as there is limit of 20 attendees.
