Expert local guides lead a relaxed two-hour stroll through historic Melrose, exploring hidden corners, fascinating stories, and wonderful views beyond the festival site.
"Join our local guides to stretch your legs and see a different side of the festival with this relaxed walk around beautiful Melrose and its surroundings. Setting off from Harmony Garden, we’ll explore the historic streets, hidden corners and fascinating stories that make this Borders town so special. Along the way, enjoy wonderful views, local history and plenty of fresh air in good company.
This is a friendly, easy-paced walk lasting around two hours – more stroll than serious hike – so no special rambling gear is needed, just comfortable shoes and curiosity. A great way to experience the charm of Melrose beyond the festival site.
This session is an outdoor event, so please dress appropriately for the weather.
Meet at the Festival Box Office"
