In Sherlock's Footsteps, The Guided Walk of Conan Doyle's Portsmouth

Matt Wingett invites you to walk the streets that young Arthur Conan Doyle walked 140 years ago. You'll meet outside the A Bar, Camber Docks, and take a walk through Old Portsmouth to Southsea. On the way Matt will tell you some of his adventures in the town in sporting, medical, military and fictional contexts. You'll discover:

• where he got into a bout of fisticuffs on his first day
• the site where the real Dr Watson once lived
• why he was involved in real deaths, a stabbing and disasters in the city
• the pub where he attended an inquest
• how the town gave him place names for his characters
• the place where he met his wife to be
• how tragedy threw him and his first wife together
• the place where he met his "Platonic mistress"
• where he spent his last night before leaving the town in 1890
