Brother Cadfael weekend

This year is the 100th anniversary of the birth of Ellis Peters (Edith Pargeter), the author of the popular Brother Cadfael novels. Her 100th birthday would have been on Saturday 28 September 2013.

To celebrate this anniversary there will be a series of Brother Cadfael guided walks. Starting from the Visitor Information Centre at Rowley’s House, there will be a tour at 11am on Saturday 28 September, and on Sunday 29 September there will a tour at 11.15am. Both tours will last for an hour and a half and will finish at The Abbey, where there will be a chance to visit the home of Brother Cadfael. These walks will be lead by our knowledgeable town guides who have Brother Cadfael as one of their specialist subjects.

The tours are £5 for adults and £2.50 for children (age 16 and under). Tickets must be purchased in advance for these tours.

Tickets are on sale at Shrewsbury Visitor Information Centre at Rowley’s House, Barker Street, Shrewsbury.  The centre is open Monday to Saturday 10am to 5pm, or tickets can be purchased over the phone on 01743 258888.
