Herne Smugglers’ Trail, Walk and Talk
The new flyer has been created to promote the upcoming Herne Smugglers Walk & Talk in collaboration with The Herne Bay Festival and The Seaside Museum so be on the look out for them as they’ll be up soon! 👀
Join our volunteers and theatre company, Odds and Sodds, for an interactive Smuggling themed walk around Herne.
Re-imagine the days when smuggling was rife in Herne!
How and where did the Smugglers operate?
Who were the local citizens with respectable day jobs who were
smugglers after dark? And the Riding Officers who pursued them? How did Midshipman Sydenham Snow meet his end?
Listen to the history and tales passed on by local people.
Walk: 1.5 hours+, some uphill, some field paths. Sturdy shoes
recommended. Start and finish at the Herne Centre.
Suitable for adults and children 10+ with adult only.
£5 charge, remainder supplemented by Herne Bay Festival
Please book at the Museum
