Bury St Edmunds Tour Guides are a highly trained team of volunteers who have earned the right to wear the coveted Blue or Green Badge of guiding excellence.

Described as "the unsung heroes of Bury St Edmunds as a visitor destination", the team has been delivering tours across the area since 1978!

These include daily tours, ghost tours, tours for schools, media, and even for US personnel stationed in the area.

Despite being unpaid volunteers, many of the team are so passionate about sharing their knowledge and history about the area that they also volunteer at the local Visitor information point at the St Edmundsbury Cathedral Shop.

The also provide tours and talks to groups of people with health conditions or impairments and carers, as well as members of Ukrainian families who have moved to the UK due to the war.
