Bury Tour Guides have curated a very special guided walk taking in sites of literary note across the town.
Across the centuries since the mighty Abbey of St Edmund was founded, a surprising number of writers have been inspired by the town in which it sits. From a medieval cellarer right up to a 21st century gothic-rock star, Bury St Edmunds has been the subject matter for novels, poems, songs, plays and occasionally a rip-roaring insult!
This town-centre walk will start at Angel Hill, opposite the Abbey Gate (what3words///doubt.display.trail) at 1.30 pm on Sunday 7 December 2025. It will last around 90 minutes and be illustrated with recorded extracts of some of the works featured. The tour is in English and is suitable for all ages and abilities. Please let us know beforehand if you have any special access requirements. We regret that we cannot accept dogs (apart from assistance dogs) on our tours.
Adults £10.00, U-18s £5, U-5s free. U-18s must be accompanied by an adult.
Tickets must be booked online in advance. Your guide will be waiting on Angel Hill wearing a green Bury Tour Guides top.
We look forward to welcoming you!
