Event Description

Last year’s guided walk was so popular it sold out!

Participants meet at Gardiner’s Quarry car park (all-day parking, payable by card: £6.50) on Jubilee Drive to embark on an an hour’s guided walk along Elgar’s beloved tracks and footpaths down to St Wulstan’s Church, including the opportunity to visit Eye Well and the Holywell building on route.

Refreshments are available before a short recital at 11.15am featuring his deeply personal String Quartet performed by the exceptional LANO quartet led by last year’s soloist at this event, Shuwei Zuo.

There will be time to explore the Elgar family graves before your guide leads the way back. Approximate return time: 1pm

The walking route is hilly and uneven and no dogs are allowed.

Those who would rather not walk are welcome to book for the recital and refreshments only from 10.45am. There is no designated church car park but on-street parking is available.

Tickets: book online via the Elgar Festival website.
