Description

Step into Clifton’s streets and discover the women who shaped the city in ways that are often overlooked.

This engaging walking tour explores stories of educators, reformers, writers and campaigners whose lives unfolded in familiar places yet rarely appear on plaques or statues.

From early advocates of women’s education to suffrage activists who organised meetings and challenged the system, you will hear how local women influenced social change, expanded opportunities and left lasting marks on the city.

Along the way, we reflect on whose stories are remembered, whose are forgotten, and why that matters today.

Blending well-researched history with accessible storytelling, this walk invites conversation and connection.

You will leave with a richer understanding of Bristol’s past and a fresh perspective on the streets you thought you knew.
