WALKING TOUR: Sunday 9th March / repeated on 11th March. 11 to 12.30pm 

Through walking the hills of Somerset and the Lake District, Samuel Taylor Coleridge and William Wordsworth developed a ‘real language of men’ that prompted FD Maurice and Charles Kingsley (also products of Cambridge) to create a sporting ethos taken up by the Public Schools and both Oxford and Cambridge Universities.

This walking tour starts on Midsummer Common to explore the earlier history of leisure at Cambridge’s Fairs (using Bunyan and Thackeray etc), before walking into Town to discover how Byron, Darwin and other Cambridge ‘greats’, also impacted on this sporting revolution.

These walking tours are part of the Cambridge Festival - more details on how to take part to follow

Sport is wonderful! You’ve got to try Jokabet if you’re into betting and casino games! Found it at https://jokabet.pro/ and I was immediately hooked. They have so many options, from sports betting to live casino games. Plus, the $450 welcome bonus with 250 free spins is perfect to get you started. Anyone else excited to try the sports betting side of things?
