Literary Walk of Walton - Hidden Stories (Elmbridge LitFest 2026)

Step into Walton’s surprisingly rich literary past on this relaxed two-hour walk along the Thames and its historic streets. From the riverbanks immortalized in Three Men in a Boat to homes linked with Arthur Sullivan, the walk reveals how this quiet town inspired words, music and wit. Your guide will be local resident Steve, a qualified City of London and Westminster guide as well as having a deep interest in the Elmbridge area. The walk is on pavements and has some gentle slopes. The walk will start and finish at the Riverhouse Arts Centre
