Heritage Walks
Time travel with local experts on these walks into the glass making past. Several old Festival favourites, although all with
new material researched since their last outing, are joined by a number of newly devised heritage tours including a visit
to the Dial Glass Works and an appreciation of the area’s public house history.
Except where otherwise indicated, all walks take approximately 1.5 hours and cost £3.50 Adults/£1.00 children.
Tickets can be booked online or at the Festival Office during the Glass Festival, or simply turn up at the start of the walk
and pay (but note that numbers are limited).
Full details of all these walks and tours are on www.ifg.org.uk.
