The Leamington History Group guides met the Mayor of Leamington today for tea and cake as a thank you for the 2024 tour season. 2025 will be even bigger and better with more tours and guides who are members of the Royal Leamington Spa Guild of Guides. It’s going to be an exciting year ahead and we hope you will “come walk with us” next season.

Did a tour yesterday for the Leamington History Group which you can book via Eventbrite if you want to come along to the next one. I do the Historic Leamington Spa walking tour on the third Tuesday and Friday of each month and I’m really interested in talking about Leamington’s history and the people who shaped both its past and its future. It was nice that the Vicar of All Saints Church came out to say hello to my group of 14 people! Even the weather cooperated for once!

Out and about learning more about the street art scene with Tim aka Lord Numb and owner of Brink Gallery in Leamington Spa who has created and curated a whole area of street art as part of Creative Leamington. The Leamington History Group will be offering some street art tours during this summer. Look out for them and make sure you take part, there’s some great stuff out there. I will be one of the guides, come walk with me!

Historic walking tours of Warwick and Royal Leamington Spa by appointment only.

My free tour of Royal Leamington Spa on this very rainy day resulted in a wonderful piece of gossip which I am sharing with you. When the Royal Pump Rooms closed in 1989 and before it reopened as a cultural complex in 1999, Mick Jagger used the empty men’s swimming pool (or swimming hall as it was known) to film a music video ‘Sweet Thing.’ The pool was transformed to become today’s Leamington Library but the glass pool roof remains as a “sweet” reminder of days past.

Every third Friday of the month through the summer I give a free tour of Leamington Spa for the Leamington History Group. It leaves at 10:30 from inside the Leamington Visitor Centre located at the Pump Rooms and is a romp through history sprinkled with tales of some the characters who left their mark on our beautiful spa town. Todays tour was great fun, why not join me in August?

On my Historic Warwick Walks tours, l start at the wonderful plaque celebrating the birth of Warwick and the deeds of Aethelflaed in 914AD. Don’t worry if you can’t find my website, it’s being revamped. You can always check me out on Trip Advisor, yes l got a Travellers Choice award for this year too. Hope to meet you soon!

On the third Friday of every month from now until the end of October, I am giving a free tour of Historic Royal Leamington Spa as a volunteer for the Leamington History Group. Leaving at 10:30am from the Leamington Visitor Centre located in the Royal Pump Rooms, the first tour is tomorrow. Short notice, but do join me if you are free.

This year has been a big one for Historic Warwick Walks. A record number of visitors taking my tours and a few locals too. So, I would like to wish all my friends, past tour takers, tour takers to be, and FaceBook follows all the very best for the coming festive season and safe and happy travels in 2023.
