"[P]athways are valuable only if they are used. Humanity has procrastinated for far too long on climate change - now we have to walk the path, or rather we have to run it." - Christiana Figueres and Tom Rivett Carnac
Put your running shoes on and come and join the 24 hour relay and all age daytime event!
Join A+E (a socially engaged art project working alongside St Mary's Episcopal Cathedral) as we celebrate active travel in response to the climate and ecological crisis. Supported by the Walk Wheel Cycle Trust (formerly Sustrans), this event reframes Active Travel in the context of Active Hope: a practical and joyful approach to engaging with difficult world situations, like climate change, by moving from overwhelm to empowered action.
Alongside guided walks, talks, performances, banner-making, info stalls, and a bike repair workshop, this event includes a 24 hour relay around the perimeter of the cathedral. The relay is a symbol of the individual and collective energy we need to address the climate and ecological crisis; to transform the land within our care into a place of healing and renewed hope.
Daytime event: 10am-3pm 21st March
Relay and vigil: 10am 21st March - 12 noon 22nd March
Join us on the day for this celebratory event. If you can contribute to the relay please do! All speeds necessary: both tortoise and hare! Minimal contribution = 15 min. Maximum contribution = 1 hr.
