Necropolis Women’s Heritage Walk, Sunday 14th April, 2pm to 4pm, £10/6, Meet at Cathedral Square
“I loved the walk; very well-researched and well-presented and a great fun way to spend an afternoon.” Walk participant
Take a stroll through this atmospheric Victorian cemetery while our tour guides dig the dirt on Victorian society, unearthing women’s achievements and bringing back to life the notorious and forgotten women buried there. This is a hilly walk but the views across Glasgow and the insights on women’s history are spectacular!
Large print versions of the tour guides’ script are available on the day.
