Tunbridge Wells Life

Exciting news - I am part of team that has launched a new website all about Tunbridge Wells!

We've been working on this site for almost a year now and it's great that we can now reveal the work of all our labours...and of course there is more to come from it. The photos taken on this site will be constantly updated, and eventually you will be able to buy the images too. So, even if you aren't able to come and visit the area, you can still download some fantastic and beautiful photographs. We are also hoping to add the facility to purchase books and leaflets about the area as well.



There are pages for local businesses to advertise on, a catalogue of local events (and my running and upcoming tours) and our accessibility expert, Eve, will be able to let you know about getting out and about in the town if you are in a wheelchair.

We are aiming for this to be for locals and tourists alike the best website to access for information about Tunbridge Wells. It's a work in progress but we have had so much positive feedback so far from everyone who has been on the site.

What is this site, I hear you cry?! Well, it's called Tunbridge Wells Life - and can be found here: www.tunbridgewellslife.co.uk

Enjoy, Explore and meet all the Team! And let me know what you think.

Tunbridge Wells Tours

The season has started with a bang - some fantastic weather back at the end of March, but rather damp since then, however I'm sure things will hot up for the Queen's Diamond Jubilee Celebrations and London Olympics!

Tours have been going well with various walks around Kent and Sussex organised for groups as well as individuals - Canterbury and Brighton have been the hot spots for me so far! But I do enjoy travelling further afield to Windsor, Chichester and even Dover to show people around South East England. 

My new tours in Tunbridge Wells itself began this month - I have a new Ale Trail that runs every fortnight throughout summer. They are currently on Tuesday evenings starting at 7pm and we talk about the historic pubs in old Tunbridge Wells - as well as sampling what they have to offer in 3 of the finest! Tickets cost £10 per person and include some free beer!! Contact me to book your place. You don't have to drink beer, or even drink, to come on the tour if history is your thing.

As well as my regular Monday (11am) and Tuesday Tours (11am and 2pm) - that start at the Tourist Information Centre on The Pantiles and cost £5per person with discounts at Woods Restaurant - you can now also enjoy a Sunday Stroll once a month. My Sunday strolls take in the top of the town, and are perfect for a gentle walk before you enjoy your Sunday Roast! From Burton to biscuits the next Sunday Stroll is May 13th at 11am. Again you can reserve your place if you contact me directly - either ring 07759 226060 or email catherinepitt@hotmail.com - and I can give you more details of where to meet.

Remember if any of these dates and times aren't great for you, and you can organise a group of at least 5 people or more, I can make it a private tour at a date and time that suits you! Maybe as a gift for someone's birthday or anniversary - it's certainly something different!
