During July and August

The Ramsgate Society's Costumed Walks were nominated for a Pride of Thanet' Award 2009. There are four walks around different parts of the town held throughout July and August, each led by knowledgeable local guides who introduce Ramsgate characters from the past - famous or not so famous. Wheelchairs, children-accompanied-by-an-adult and well-behaved-dogs are all welcome (no dogs on the Harbour walk) and they set out regardless of the weather. No need to book unless you are a large group, in which case please telephone the organisers and arrangements will be made.

There is no set charge for these walks as we are all volunteers but donations to help meet the cost of the walks are welcome. All those taking part in the walks do so at their own risk. No specific Liability Insurance is held. Large parties will need to pre book on 01843 580832 for any of the main walks. We regret that no walks other than those detailed can be offered.
