Alongside a range of fantastic talks, Step into Spring invites you to explore Canterbury, its hidden history and untold stories through a series of guided walks. This year we are delighted to introduce an array of concessions prices in addition to our Under 30s Scheme to make Canterbury Festival events as affordable and accessible as possible. Plus, if you book two or more talks across the Step into Spring programme, you will receive a 5% discount on the face value of each ticket. #stepintospring
