About this event
Join local actress Louise Ann-Munro as she gives a whistle-stop tour of the history and special stories that make Romfords heritage so unique.
This immersive tour will 'time-travel' to 1247 and back to the modern day, telling stories about the market, insight into the towns architecture and facts about it's past; and perhaps even reveal a ghost story or two in an hour of lighthearted fun and discovery.
It begins at Robin's Pie & Mash in Romford's South Street and ends there too (why not stop in after for a taste of the East End and a slap-up meal and time to discuss your own memories of the town).
The guided tour is one hour long, including c. 25 mins walking time and a 'sitting stop' half way between. We ask that you arrive to the tour 5 mins early, with your ticket as the tour will leave promptly at the set time.
This tour is suitable for adults and recommended for 16+ as content in parts is less accessible for children.

Frequently asked questions
There are limited spaces on the tour due to accessibility of location, so we recommend that you book a space. We also request that you let us know if you cannot make it once booking a ticket as this tour is likely to be full with a waiting list.
There is an assistant at the tour who can help with ensuring the group are all accounted for, however the tour is slow paced so that it is more accessible for everyone.
The tour is a number of acted stories, rather than a tour by a historian so while there will be time for questiosn, we would advise that you visit The Havering Museum or Romford Library for more information on specific subjects.
This free tour does not include food or refreshments, however does end at Robin's Pie and Mash which will be open before and after both tours.
