THEATRE WALK from award-winning theatre company Show of Strength. Kings and Commoners in Keynsham tells the town’s story like never before!

People have lived and worked and played and prayed in Keynsham for over 2,000 years. One of the greatest monasteries of medieval England stood here, and one of the largest villas in Roman Britain. And the evidence is all around, including on the High Street – you just have to know where to look.

Keynsham: visited by Kings, ruled by commoners, spelled by Horace Batcheor and hymned by the Bonzo Dog Doo-Dah Band.

Starting at St John’s church our new walk explores some fascinating stories and people including three ghosts – and the King Who Never Was.

Meet/start: St John the Baptist Church entrance, Keynsham, BS31 2BL.
Location/terrain: outdoors, ending near Bath Hill East Car Park. Please note the route includes some steps, slopes, gravel paths and narrow passageways.
Suitable for children aged 12+

Cost: £13 (+ booking fee), advance booking only
