Walking with wild writer James Canton

17.08.2024

2:00 - 4:30 pm

Art Exchange

admission free

Come on a walk around Wivenhoe Park, led by wild writer James Canton.

James will take us on a tour of  its trees, paths and glades, stopping to read from his books that take their inspiration from nature, such as his seminal ‘The Oak Papers’.

It’s a great way to discover Wivenhoe Park as James Canton takes us on a journey through his writing and its inspiration.

We will then go back to Art Exchange for a cup of tea. And if you’re feeling inspired, you can create our own zine – something for you to take away and jot down your own words of wisdom!

Admission free – and there’s no need to book, just turn up.

We will meet at Art Exchange to start of the walk, leaving by 2.10 pm. Here a map so you can find us! Art in the Park Map

Do wear sturdy shoes, especially if it has been raining.

Cafes, toilets and baby changing facilities are all nearby – and parking is free on Saturdays.

This event has been made possible through the Essex County Council Arts and Cultural Fund, which supports organisations and creative practitioners to deliver an exciting range of activities to engage with and bring communities in Essex together.
