John Wesley in Bristol

Wednesday afternoon at 3:00

Payment is in advance for this tour. Once you have booked your place on Meet Up, Steve will be in touch about paying the walk fee to secure your place.

It is time for us to get to know John Wesley and his family and associates better.

We so often come across Methodism as we explore Bristol. Let's find out what it is all about.

As well as hearing the story of John Wesley's life we will learn of his brother John's huge influence in the world of hymn and carol writing. We will also discover the central role that their mother, Susanna Wesley, the Mother of Methodism, played in the movement.

We will also explore the role that the Port of Bristol played in taking Methodism around the world.

We will take coffee at the end of our tour in Wesley's New Room Cafe. I believe that mulled wine and minced pies are also available.

This tour is timed to coincided with Carols by Candlelight at the New Room. Here is the link if you would like to book a ticket for that event as well: https://john-wesleys-new-room.arttickets.org.uk/john-wesleys-new-room/carols-by-candlelight-66f5360bc6641

As is our custom a historical travelogue style article based on Steve's research notes will be sent out to participants after the event.

A Walk in the Past is a friendly group where regulars and newcomers are always welcome. Our aim is to combine a good walk with pleasant company in historic landscapes.
