Sing and Stroll

Wednesday 20 May 2026
11:00 to 12:30

Join us for a Sing and stroll in partnership with the Recovery college. Part of national creativity and wellbeing week. https://creativityandwellbeing.org.uk/?mc_cid=b655749abf&mc_eid=d7f2242749 

This year our festival theme is “Critical Hope” (for acute times).

“Critical hope” reflects the ability to realistically assess the environment through a lens of equity and justice while also envisioning the possibility of a better future. Championed as an idea by Paulo Freire, "critical hope" is an active, necessary, and realistic, rather than passive or naive, stance against oppression and despair, deeply rooted in his work Pedagogy of Hope.

How can we hold onto critical hope in our citizenship, whilst also acknowledging the difficult times we all face? Self soothing and renewal through nature and singing can help support us.



Sing and Stroll in nature 11-12.30
