An arts and heritage-led community celebration sharing life memories, stories, photos of The Reens and Troon in Cornwall. The event is for those who can’t walk to a sacred place a group of us are working to safeguard through the act of walking.
This celebration is a story café event where shared memories are captured by sound, words, film, virtual worlds and map-making. We will dance the serpentine dance – a traditional parade dance – and share in a tea treat for all. We will also work together to see how we want the project to move into the future.
We have published work about our walks in a book about movement heritage.
