Between April and October we run daily guided walks from the VIC at 2pm. These walks take in the history and the buildings of the town, and last an hour and a half. They're suitable for all ages and abilities, and cost £7.50 (£6 when booked in advance) for adults and £2.50 for children. Tickets are available from the VIC, which is based at The Music Hall in the Square, and is also the starting point for each walk.

We also run a number of specialist guided walks throughout the year. Find out more from our Guided Tours of Shrewsbury pages.
