Southampton City Council sponsors STGA to provide free tours to local and visiting members of the public, every Sunday and Bank Holiday Monday including New Years Day and Boxing Day. Frequency of these tours varies during the year to reflect seasonal demand and are shown on our STGA Calendar.
Free walks are limited to individuals and groups of up to 8 people. Groups above this size will need to book a chargeable Private Guided Tour.
