Get ready to explore the medieval heart of Reading with Abbey Quarter Tours.
Starting from April 1, the tour will take place every Saturday at 11am and will be led by trained volunteer guides.
Participants will be able to visit the Hospitium where medieval pilgrims stayed, the impressive conserved Reading Abbey ruins, and the grand entrance to the Abbot’s Lodgings, which became Queen Elizabeth I’s royal residence.
The tour will also feature exciting links to the influence of the Huntley and Palmers Factory, which is celebrating its 200th anniversary this year.
The 90-minute tour is suitable for all ages and will include myth-busting facts and fascinating stories about the Abbey Quarter.
Meeting at the Reading Museum’s reception, the meeting place and some of the stops during the tour might change depending on Covid-19 safety guidance in place.
Places should be booked in advance, and cost £10.
