Meet the Coat of Hopes
2025-06-03 19:30 - 20:30
The Coat of Hopes is a patchwork coat that is on an ongoing walk through Britain. Made, worn and walked by hundreds of people during and since its pilgrimage from the south coast of England to COP 26, the UN climate summit, in Glasgow autumn 2021.

The Coat is made up of pieces of blanket into which people have worked their griefs, remembrances, prayers and hopes for the place they call home. It carries an invitation to share our love and responsibility in facing this climate and ecological emergency.

You are invited to come and find out about this amazing project, to try on the coat if you wish, and hear the stories of those who are walking and wearing it.

This is a FREE drop-in event, all are very welcome (including children). Hot drinks will be available. To find out more about the project, https://www.coatofhopes.uk/
