Guided Walks and Talks
Guided Walks and Talks
Join one of the Friends of Winckley Square (FoWS) experienced tour guides on one of our many guided walks. Perhaps take a leisurely stroll around Winckley Square and delve into the lives of some of the extraordinary men and women who lived and worked on the Square. Some of our walks go beyond the Square, visiting interesting historical landmarks in different parts of Preston.
These regular walks are open to all and take place from March to September each year. FoWS Talks are held at the Central Methodist Church, Lune Street. Places for both Walks and Talks are listed on Trybooking. You can book a place by following the ‘Book your place’ link below the details of each event on this website. If you have a problem, contact Patricia by e-mail patricia@winckley.org.uk
