Group Walk - Gilroes Revisited
Saturday 27 September at 11am
Starting at the main gates of Gilroes Cemetery, Groby Road
Around 90 minutes with information stops. Steady pace.
Following our first walk in Gilroes Cemetery earlier this year, we return for a NEW themed heritage walk discovering more fascinating stories of Leicester's former residents and a little local history. We present new content, and you can still join this new walk even if you did not attend walk 1.

If you have not walked with Leicester City Council before we will ask you to complete our Walker Registration form in advance of the walk online or by phone. You will receive an email in the days leading up to the event with information about how to complete the form. You only need to do this once and can attend any of our walks thereafter (subject to booking a place on Eventbrite).

Remember to dress appropriately for the weather. Our group walks will go ahead in most weather. We recommend the following:
- Comfortable sturdy footwear
- Bring a raincoat or umbrella in case of rain
- On cooler days wear appropriate warm layers (hat, scarf, gloves) and a coat/jacket
- It's advisable to bring a bottle of water with you.
Group size
We kindly ask walkers to book a place, to help us keep our group sizes manageable.
