The restaurant offers pre-theatre menus, and the theatre is on Park Street. The theatre's shows depend on the university term, so check its programme before choosing an evening. The final stop is a Grade II listed pub on Bridge Street. Each stop's description comes from its own page; check it for opening hours and any charges before you go. The order and the time allowances are our suggestion, not sourced facts.

Estimated time on the stops below: about 285 minutes (about 4.8 hours), not counting walking between them. Durations are our own estimates, not figures from the place pages.
