About this event

Why not celebrate Darwin’s birthday by joining Festival founder and author Jon King on this fascinating guided tour around Darwin’s Shrewsbury?

Discover the historic locations associated with Darwin's childhood and school days and find out how he became the ideal candidate for Gentleman Naturalist on HMS Beagle.

The tour starts at 12:30pm by the Bellstone in the Morris Hall Courtyard following the annual birthday toast. This walk takes around two hours and involves some steps and kerbs. We walk at the pace of the slowest member of the group.
