"A Walk in Thomas Hobbes' Footsteps". We are very fortunate to have two local historians who will be providing 30 min approx. guided walks around the part of Malmesbury where Thomas was born and grew up. You will hear interesting tales about the people, buildings, streets and happenings, all of which provided a backcloth for this extraordinary person. There will also be a linked Thomas Hobbes Trail on Explore Malmesbury, which is an online app.

All walks will start and end at the United Reformed Church, just off the Horsefair in Malmesbury SN16 9BJ.

These will start promptly at 11am, 12pm, 2pm and 3pm, on both Saturday 5th April and Sunday 6th April, but may be subject change due to weather conditions.

Pay when you arrive at the United Reformed Church for the walk. Ticket prices are £5 per person (or a donation), children under 12 years old are free of charge.

Do come along to the Church earlier or stay a while after your walk. Not only will you be able to see the archaeological excavation happening in the front garden of the Church, but there will also be free fun activities for children in the Church itself, plus light refreshments available to purchase. Toilets and shelter (in case of inclement weather) will also be available.

For those unfamiliar with Malmesbury, please note that parking is limited in the residential area where the Church is located. So if you are visiting, we suggest you consider parking either in the Cross Hayes Car Park SN16 9BZ in the centre of Malmesbury or in the Long Stay Car Park SN16 9JT. Both are about a 10 minute walk to the Church.
