A Walk with Joseph Burbidge

It was on Friday, August the 17 1906 that William Mitchell (aka Joseph Burbidge) walked into Petersfield with a rifle and bayonet and started to fire indiscriminately at local residents. Immortalised in the press as the ‘Mad Sailor’, follow in the footsteps of William as we follow the events that transpired on that fateful day.  

Unless otherwise stated all our walks start from outside the Museum. Maximum number on a walk is 20, so to avoid disappointment it is best to book in advance. Maximum of 3 under 16s tickets per paying adult. If you have any queries, please email education@petersfieldmuseum.co.uk or give us a call on 01730 262601.
