Across the centuries since the mighty Abbey of St Edmund was founded, a surprising number of writers have been inspired by the town in which it sits.
From a medieval cellarer right up to a 21st century gothic-rock star, Bury St Edmunds has been the subject matter for novels, poems, songs, plays and occasionally a rip-roaring insult!
This town-centre walk will last around 90 minutes and be illustrated with recorded extracts of some of the works featured.
 
During the summer months, Bury Tour Guides offer regular daily town tours by trained and experienced guides telling the amazing history of Bury St Edmunds.
