About this Event
The sounds around us shape our lives in ways we rarely notice - our sense of time and place, our memories and emotions, our creativity, and our relationship with nature and each other.
Actively listening to the world can be a genuinely inspiring experience. Slowing down to listen, especially while walking, opens up a well of creative inspiration that's easy to overlook.
On this soundwalk, participants will use their ears and a range of specialist listening equipment to explore the acoustic habitat of Norwich city centre - sound in the air, underwater and in the ground. There'll be time to quietly reflect on what we hear, and to share the experience with fellow listeners.
Walking routes to be confirmed on the day (weather dependent), but will incorporate accessible surfaces and paths. This event is suitable for families.
This walk will be starting at St Andrew's Hall as part of the Wild by Design event . Please arrive 15 minutes before the walk begins and speak to someone at the entrance.
