Tickets sales from these walks go towards raising funds for a statue of sisters Jane and Ann Taylor – prolific writers of poems for “infant minds” with one by Jane, written in Colchester in 1806, known throughout the world as “Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star”.
Sir Bob is also willing to do tours for groups and "specials" for individuals on other days of the week - minimum donation request of £25. Please contact the Colchester Arts Centre Box Office to arrange.
No booking required for this walk. Just turn up. Donations towards the fundraising are generously received on the day.
Sensible walking shoes and an emergency brolly are always a good idea!
