Description

Discover the extraordinary people behind the elegant facades of, “The handsomest suburb in Europe” (John Betjeman).

Fabulous buildings, scenery and stories: a jilted barmaid’s brush with death; a runaway Empress; the only forger sentenced to death to keep his head and get it on a banknote; the Georgian terrace that housed the Holy Grail, a fascinating churchyar; plus Keith Floyd’s first restaurant; and Eddie Shoestring’s Clifton pad.

Proper History.

Starting and ending in the village, Clifton will never look the same again.

2 hours, mainly on the flat but a couple of sets of steep steps including down from Royal York Crescent.

“As good as the best London walks” — audience member
“Another triumph from Show Of Strength.

Consistently and magnificently superb. A joyful celebration of our finest suburb. I loved every moment.” — @WeirdBristol on Twitter
