CoolTan Arts Community Legacy Walk

24th July 2012

Time: 12 noon

Start: Outside Hackney Museum

Ends: Hackney Wick

Join CoolTan Arts Community Legacy Walk - on a free guided cultural walk around the Olympic Boroughs of Hackney and Newham.

Meet outside Hackney Museum at 12 noon. The walk will last approximately 3.5 hours and end in the vicinity of the Olympic Park

Along the way our friendly guides will tell you stories of the art, culture and mental health history of the local area.

Learn more about the history of Hackney's psychiatric hospitals,
the hidden river of Hackney Brook, the local memorial to Blind Fred, a match seller, and the rich history of non conformism in Hackney!

The walks are fully accessible, free and open to all.
Please wear comfortable shoes and bring a bottle of water.

All Welcome!

The project is also recruiting and training new volunteers to research and help lead walks. CoolTan Arts welcomes volunteers with disabilities, or without disabilities.

Volunteers will get training in First aid, storytelling, mental health first aid, and Walk Leader training. The group meets at various locations in Hackney on a Tuesday 12 noon to 3pm.
