Many years ago we started running out of hours events for tourists attractions across the South of England. As they grew in popularity what we quickly realised is that there is a love and fascination about seeing a heritage location, whether it be a museum, stately home or castle not only when the crowds have left but at twilight. The building seems to have a totally different experience and somehow stories and history come alive!

From the Casebook: Andover Heritage Tours
Back in 2016 we were asked to develop a heritage trail for Andover Town Council to highlight the introduction of the new display boards detailing the town history. For the next four years we returned to give the heritage tour as part of the Shilling Fair and offered the experience as a school workshop. Andover has a fascinating history as a coaching network for the South West and London. From Kings, Queens, Admirals and even highwaymen!
