Martin Wood

Town Crier & Public Speaker

Martin Wood public speaker and Town Crier

About me: I am based in Shrewsbury, though I am happy to travel throughout the UK. I have been the Town crier for Shrewsbury, Shropshire for the past 26 years and over that time I have spoken to many groups:- W.I`s Rotary, Lions, Age Concern and many more.

About my talks: My talks are light hearted and humorous, two being 'stand alone' - just me and my bell! and two are power point presentations. I supply all necessary equipment for the power point talks, and can confirm that it is PAT compliant.. I also bring along a screen if there isn't one available at the venue - though a clear wall make a very good 'screen'.

Read Martin Wood's profile

Note from Dianne: Martin is the tallest Town Crier in the world - he towers an incredible 7' 2" -for those of you who have gone metric, that is 218.4cm. So, along with Martin's talk, the audiance will get to meet, possibly the tallest person they've ever met in their life.
