First four walks in Discover Huddersfield walks programme are cancelled

8/3/2020

Bay Hall, Birkby, which features in the first of the 2020 guided walks of Huddersfield
The Changing Face of Birkby was due to be the first guided walk in the new season arranged by Discover Huddersfield.

However, given the worsening situation with Coronavirus and the age of many of our support team and walkers, we feel we must cancel this and the next three walks of the season.
For clarity, they are: The Changing Face of Birkby (April 5), Lion Hunt ( April 26), University Campus Trail (May 17) and The Age of Architectural Decoration (June 4).

The walks in the 2020 programme are led by experts in the history, culture, architecture and heritage that have shaped the town. They range from Beerhouses, Brothels and Bobbies to  Slaithwaite's Radical Past.

Each one lasts for up to two hours and costs £3 per person, though the four walks conducted on heritage open days are free of charge.

The new brochure contains full details of times, venues and contacts and may be downloaded below. 

Those who enjoy the gentle rhythm of walking will also enjoy the Music Trail, below. Huddersfield’s musical traditions vary from from brass bands and organ-building to sound systems and Bhangra. 

This introductory walk was created by students and staff at the University of Huddersfield and takes in key buildings including the Parish Church, the Town Hall, Ivanhoe's and The Hippdrome.
