Community Walk marking the Spring Equinox and visiting the Pennywell murals in North Edinburgh. Sunday 22nd March, meeting at North Edinburgh Arts (full address below) at 2pm.
On this walk we will visit three vibrant murals by Fraser Gray which transform local buildings. Celebrating local history, they are a great example of the role the arts can play in brightening up urban areas, sparking conversation on climate change, and promoting a sense of belonging in community.
Expect:
fresh air and gentle walking / wheeling exercise
an opportunity to get to know new people
entertaining stories of local history
information about art and murals
the chance to enjoy urban nature
Led by Tamsin Grainger, experienced community walk leader.
Moving slowly through the city landscape allows for quality noticing. Pauses are important so we can discover and really see what is around us. We will embrace the environment, community and conversation.
The walk will be on tarmac, so fine for sticks and wheels, whether wheelchair or buggy. Dogs welcome.
