Launch of Kelham Island and Neepsend art and studios tour
I’m really pleased to launch a brand new walking tour that will highlight the artistic side of Kelham Island and Neepsend. The walk will be lead by local artist Simon Wigglesworth-Baker, and will not only highlight the amazing art that can be seen around the area, but it will also give a chance to see inside some of the artist studios.
Kelham Island Walks update - July 2021
With Covid restrictions lifting and walking tours finally getting underway on 17th July, it felt like a good time for an update on some of the things that Kelham Island Walks has been doing over the last year. The first walk dates were unveiled in April and the first of these dates are already fully booked and some of the other walks only have a few spaces left. If you haven't booked a slot yet, then you need to get in quick. It'll be great to finally be able to take people round Kelham Island and show it off to visitors.
Welcome to Kelham Island Walks from its founder Anders
From quite a young age I wanted to be a tour guide. I’ve always loved learning bits of trivia and unusual and surprising facts and then sharing them with other people. But I’ve also always been fascinated by history and the stories that bring a place to life. That led to me one day being asked to help with a tour of the area for a university conference field trip. The reaction to that initial walk snowballed and some great feedback led to me to decide to get organised and the result is Kelham Island Walks.
