Quay Words presents: Quayside Walking Tour with Jojo Spinks

A free, Heritage Open Days walking tour, exploring the Working Class built heritage of Exeter’s historic Quayside, past and present.
Postponed from 17th September – the new date for this event is 15th October 2025. Bookers will be contacted and if you have joined the waiting list you will be contacted if free tickets become available again.
This event builds on their previous community writing workshops with JoJo and Interwoven Productions CIC where participants were inspired by their personal heritage connected to the Quayside to have a go at creative writing. You can read more about the project here. They were also delighted to be joined by JoJo in 2023 for an in conversation event which celebrated the People of the West Quarter, supported by the testimony and images of those who share this Working Class heritage.
The walk will take place along the Quayside near to the Custom House and will be on wheelchair accessible terrain. Please bring suitable clothes and footwear for the walking tour.
You can find out more about the accessibility of the Custom House here. If you have any access needs you’d like to discuss with the organisers before the event, you can contact us on quaywords@literatureworks.org.uk.
