As part of Discover Downham’s 10th anniversary in The Old Fire Station, we shall be holding two guided walks around the town, focussing on the old buildings that have required the service of the Fire Station in the past. The two identical walks are on Sunday 5th July and follow the same route. The first commences at 11:00am, and the second at 2:00pm, both departing from Cannon Square, Downham Market. Each historically interesting and informative walk, will last approximately 1 hour and is limited to 15 people on each. The cost for either walk is £5.00 – and all proceeds will go to support our funding for the new extension. This is a ticket-only event with limited places, advanced booking is essential.
