The William Booth Walking Trail of Nottingham
1-4 Smithy Row, Nottingham, Nottinghamshire, NG1 2BY
Join the curator of the William Booth Birthplace Museum on a walking adventure around Nottingham as you follow a trail of historical facts to discover the truth about the co-founder of the Salvation Army's formative years in Nottingham. As you visit places associated with Booth, you will pass some of the city's sites of interest, including: the Council House, St Mary's Church, the Lace Market Theatre and St Stephen's Church (Sneinton).
To start, meet at 1030 directly outside the Nottingham Tourism & Travel Centre on Smithy Row, Nottingham NG1 2BY, just off Old Market Square. The whole event (guided walk with museum visit at the end) should last approximately 2 hours and is about 1.8 miles in length. Some uneven ground will be covered, so please wear suitable footwear. The walking tour will go ahead regardless of the weather. Free, but booking is essential (spaces are limited to 12 people).
