  National Heritage Week
  This year’s national heritage week has been and gone, but no worries! You enjoyed our guided walks so much that we plan to commence with others at the beginning of March! Spaces will be limited, so we suggest phoning in the new year for more details.
  Planning a day out for your local club, WI or school? Our heritage walks are not only a great day out, but a fantastic chance to learn about the history of The Royal Hop Pole and Tewkesbury itself! We are able to provide private tours for groups at a small fee per head. Please phone for more details.
