You asked for it and it’s finally happening – a tour of the buildings in Fothergill’s home town.
There are still tickets remaining for this week’s Watson Fothergill Walk on Wednesday evening – so bring your sun hats… Tickets here:
Watson Fothergill Walk, Wednesday 18 June, 6 pm
Plus I’ve added an extra date so we can fit in a walk before Nottingham Beach takes over the market square. Please note this has a 4 pm start time.
Watson Fothergill Walk, Sunday 29 June, 4 pm
A few tickets are also available for the scheduled Watson Fothergill Walk on Sunday 6 July, 2 pm
The Hine Hike, Sunday 27 July, 2 pm is just over half full so get your skates on if you’re thinking of joining us. Tickets for all these walks are £20 each including booking fees.
Look out for more dates coming up in July and August.
After much prevaricating, I’ve decided to organise a walk in Mansfield!
Introducing The Mansfield Meander! This walk will look at the remaining buildings built by Fothergill in his home town, and we will search for traces of some of his earlier work. There will also be a chance to look at Mansfield’s massive viaduct and to stay for a drink or a meal at Ciao Bella Italian Restaurant (booking required). More details and tickets at the special introductory rate of £15 plus fees via this link:
Watson Fothergill Walk: The Mansfield Meander, Sunday 31 August, 3 pm
After an overwhelming response, there will now be two “performances” of my Art Deco Pubs talk at The Abdication in Daybrook (24 June & 22 July) These are now both full. If you’d like me to present my illustrated talk for your group or club then please get in touch via my website.
Thanks again to Lamar for collaborating on our Smartphone Photography Workshop Walk looking at some of Nottingham’s public art last week. Lamar knows so much about how to get the best out of even the smallest camera and we got some great shots. If you’re interested in taking part in one of these events in the future we’d like to hear from you – it might be possible to organise private sessions for small groups. Drop me a line to express an interest.
Finally, Sunday 22 June is The Park Garden Trail – the best time to see the architecture (and gardens) in Nottingham’s Park Estate. Explore the heart of Victorian Nottingham and benefit a host of local charities… I will be there wandering around with my flyers, probably pointing out the Fothergill buildings… see you there!
