Join local pub and brewery enthusiast Tony Fox-Griffith on a walk around Staines upon Thames, to learn about the history of brewing here and visiting all the GBG pubs in town – the day will finish with a brewery visit.

There are two options:

1. The official walking tour limited to the first 12 people who apply by emailing Tony: moc.tenretnitb@htiffirgxof.ynot. The walk will take about 1½ hours with beer breaks on top.

2. Self-guided tour to the same pubs - anyone is welcome to join this one. If you want to spend more time enjoying the pubs or don't want to walk a long way you are recommended to take this option.

Both groups will see the fairly substantial but unloved remains of the Thomas Harris Knowle Green Brewery. The walkers will then (amongst other sights) see the three previous locations of Staines' excellent Thames Side Brewery, the three (two closed) railway stations, sites of two car manufacturers (one you will certainly have heard of, the other not!), a number of sadly closed pubs, all the pubs in the 2025 and 2026 GBGs, the former HQ of Courage Brewery and the impressive remains of Ashby's Brewery founded in 1783 amongst others, before visiting the Thames Side Brewery and Taproom. Tony will also show you some fascinating pictures from the town's brewing and pub past. The non-walkers will have a map and pub guide so they can discover Staines' excellent pubs before meeting back with the rest of the group at Thames Side Brewery for a chat by Andy Hayward (owner and head brewer) about the brewery's short but fascinating history.

Full details will be sent out nearer the time but both groups will meet Tony at the Old Red Lion (last in the 2022 GBG), Leacroft, Staines TW18 4PB between 12 noon and 12.30pm. The pub is very convenient for the station. The day will finish around 5pm but you are of course welcome to explore the town's fine hostelries further.
