Another chance to discover our brilliant, imaginative story-walk created uniquely for us and performed by well-known writer and story-walker Clare Reddaway. Clare brings to life the Downs’ past – full of highwaymen, colliers and loo ladies; legionnaires, suffragettes and Cavaliers; gibbets, turnpikes and flying machines: all of which have played their extraordinary part in the fascinating and hidden history of Bristol’s ‘jewel in the crown’ – the Downs.

Join us for a stroll through the past as Clare weaves stories from the rocks and meadows beneath your feet, and see the Downs through a lens you’ve never discovered before!

Clare’s debut novel Dancing in the Shallows is published by Fairlight Books in 2024. Her award-winning short stories are widely published. Recent highlights include being long-listed (top 50) for the BBC National Short Story Awards. She creates unusual and original live story events with her company A Word In Your Ear Writing. Clare regularly leads popular story-walks for the Clifton LitFest. A magical way of storytelling.

Suitable for adults.
