The Walbrook Pilgrimage

Event information

Join an urban pilgrimage through the heart of London, following the buried River Walbrook from source to mouth. Part walking tour, part site-specific performance, writer Tom Chivers employs poetry, soundscapes and evocative storytelling to scrape away at the surface of the city, revealing the hidden histories and geological landscapes beneath our feet.

Devised for ADRIFT - a Cape Farewell commission - in association with the Bishopsgate Institute.

PRACTICAL DETAILS

Please arrive on time, as equipment will need to be distributed. We will not be able to wait for latecomers. The walks commence 15 minutes after the advertised time, and last approximately 100 minutes. The terminus is by the Thames near Cannon Street station.

Mp3 players will be distributed at the start, but I advise bringing your own set of headphones if possible as they will be more comfortable (over the ear ones are best!).

Please bring clothing appropriate to the weather, including a decent pair of shoes.

Please be aware that the pace may be brisk at time.
