Social Distancing in Action!

August 4, 2020 watson

Trying out my tours with smaller groups has worked well so far. Here are some photos from The Carrington Crawl this weekend.

This was a private booking for 5 people, and as you can see there is room to spread out and see some beautiful examples of Fothergill and Summers’ domestic architecture.

By the way if you live in any of these buildings I’d love to trade stories about your house, so get in touch.

The Carrington Crawl: August Dates!

July 22, 2020July 23, 2020 watson

At the moment I am only able to take groups of up to 6 (including me!) so there are just 5 tickets for The Carrington Crawl on 15 August 2020.

NEWS FLASH! The first walk is already full! But I have added more dates (Aug 20, 11am & Aug 22, 2pm): Tickets for all forthcoming walks are available on Eventbrite.

If you have a group of 5 people or less and would like to arrange a time to do the walk then please get in touch. (I can also do walks on weekdays.)

We successfully tried out the walk with social distancing in place and so I’d like to try more dates.

Thanks to the Promenaders for trying out The Carrington Crawl!

Here are tickets for August, priced £12 each.
