She started tour guiding in 2010 in Winchester Cathedral and has been doing so since in one capacity or another. She has a passion for making history and culture accessible to as many people as possible.

She is also an avid traveler herself, and known for taking groups all over Europe as a holiday planner.

What if I can’t make the event?

If a recording’s available for the event, you can still register for it and we will send you an email with a link to a recording shortly after it ends.

Will my camera be on and will I be visible to the other people?

Your camera and microphone does not need to be on for you to enjoy the event. The choice about whether to do this is completely yours.

Rest Less events are hosted on Zoom, a computer application that allows you to attend online events just by clicking a link. For detailed instructions, please go to our "FAQ" page, which you can find a link to in the nav bar at the top of the page.
