About this Event
Get ready for the next Prelude!
Fancy getting some fresh air, meeting some new people and doing something a little different on a Sunday morning?
For this Prelude, we’re heading out from Rochester for a social walk through Strood, Ranscombe Farm Nature Reserve and into Cobham Woods, making our way towards the historic Mausoleum.
We’ll meet at 11 am outside Café Lumiere in Rochester, a short walk from Rochester station, before setting off together. The walk to Cobham Woods should take around an 1hr - 1.5hrs, giving us plenty of time to chat and get to know everyone along the way.
Once we reach Cobham Woods, we’ll see if we can spot some of the Highland cows along the route 🐮 before stopping at the Mausoleum for a 30–45 minute break.
Then it’s back towards Rochester and Café Lumiere, with the whole morning expected to take around 3 hours
It’s roughly a 10K round trip, but this isn't a serious hiking expedition. It’s simply a chance to get outside, have a chat, meet some new people and enjoy a Sunday together.
Depending on the weather, parts of the route may be muddy or uneven, so trainers should be fine, but wear whatever footwear you're most comfortable walking in. Bring some water and anything else you might want for the break at the Mausoleum.
I'll also bring along some sweets to share along the way. 🍬
£4.50 Eventbrite registration
The walk itself is free — the £4.50 Eventbrite registration simply helps cover the costs of organising and hosting the event.
Places are limited, so please register through Eventbrite so we know who's coming.
After the walk
We'll finish back around Café Lumiere. If people fancy grabbing a coffee or something to eat afterwards, you're very welcome to — but there's absolutely no obligation to stick around.
The idea is simply to have a relaxed Sunday morning, meet some new people and see where the conversation takes you.

I look forward to meeting you all.
See you there!
