SUMMARY:History Walk Around Somerton – Part of the Somerton Music and Arts Festival
DESCRIPTION:This event was so popular last year we have decided to run it again! Martyn Smith\, the Somerton Music & Arts Festival treasurer\, will be your guide for a tour of historic Somerton.

The walk starts from the cobbled area outside Somerton Parish Rooms.\nAs this walk takes place through the town\, participants should wear appropriate footwear and be especially aware when crossing roads. \nTicket Price: Early Bird £6.00 Advance £7.00 – Booking essential – no bookings on the day in person \nTickets can be purchased online now or in person\, from 1st May\, at Stationery House in Somerton \nhttps://somertonartsfestival.co.uk/events/historywalk/
