Join us for a walking tour to introduce you to some of the key figures in Abney Park's heritage. Learn more about the politicians, social activists,  performers and writers buried here hosted by our knowledgeable tour guide, Alan Gartrell.  This tour marks the 184th anniversary of the opening of Abney Park in May 1840.

About the speaker:

Alan Gartrell has given tours of Abney Park for many years now. His topics cover a huge range from the history of Hackney's MPs to Abney Park's missionary links. He very modestly says he is not a historian, just a few clicks ahead of everyone else on Wikipedia.

From the Stoke Newington High Street entrance, please meet at the far end of the pedestrian walkway – where the path splits into three.

This event is free - donations welcome to support the work of Abney Park Trust.
