Walking tour: Tales of un-rest, the movers and shakers of the town- Restless Aberystwyth
Amble gentle walk on a level, no steps
Celebratory complimentary soup and roll in the Climate shop and a chance to discuss and share stories
Real history and discussions
Completely sustainable tour as you would expect from aberdabbadoo.
Aberystwyth seems such a quiet town. Who would have thought that there has been so many instances of times of un-rest? Your host will reveal tales and historical events when Aberystwyth was not so quiet! Learn about the peace protests, de-bagging, unruly students, Aberytsywth Rag; perhaps you will start to look upon Aberystwyth with the different lens. The walk will last 1 hr 45 minutes and starts at Trefechan Bridge with the scenes of demonstrations in the 60s. It is a gentle walk, no hills but an opportunity to ask questions and meet each other. Some stories you may know, some you may feel uncomfortable to hear; I use period language and quotes from newspapers.
We will end at the Climate Shop for a wholesome home made snack (all vegetarian) which is included in the cost of the tour. What role did the current museum play in unrest? Think pea shooters, potatoes and confetti! This tour has taken 8 months to prepare with many hours feretting in archives.

Wear sensible shoes and dress warmly. The promenade even on the nicest of days can be quite chilly.
Parking: I suggest Tescos car park which covers you for 2 hrs, but they are strict. If you wish to stay longer, and I suggest you do,
St Michaels car park. What Three Words///fuels.adopting.entrusted is £5 for all day. The Rheidol Railway is also a competitive price. What Three Words/// mankind.ground.branching
