SUMMARY:Active Travel\, Active Hope
DESCRIPTION:Celebrating active travel and active hope – includes walks\, talks\, bike repair\, info stalls\, art workshops\, exhibitions and a 24 hr relay. \nTimings\nDaytime event: 10am-2pm\, 9th May 2026\nRelay and vigil: 12pm 9th May – 12pm 10th May\nJoin Eco-Congregations in the Relay from 6pm-7pm on the 9th May\, followed by an ecumenical Eucharist at 7pm. \n\n\n\nPathways are valuable only if they are used. Humanity has procrastinated for far too long on climate change – now we have to walk the path\, or rather we have to run it. Christiana Figueres and Tom Rivett Carnac\n\n\nJoin A+E (a socially engaged art project) and St Mary’s Episcopal Cathedral\, Edinburgh to celebrate active travel and active hope in response to the climate and ecological crisis. \nSupported by the Walk Wheel Cycle Trust (formerly Sustrans)\, this event reframes Active Travel in the context of Active Hope: a practical and joyful approach to engaging with difficult world situations by moving from overwhelm to empowered action. \nAlongside guided walks\, talks\, performances\, info stalls\, tours of the bell tower\, exhibitions\, art workshops\, and a bike repair station\, this event celebrates the recently opened cycle path along Bishop’s Walk\, and includes a 24 hour relay around the perimeter of the cathedral. \nThe relay is a symbol of the individual and collective energy we need to address the climate and ecological crisis\, political polarisation and war; to transform the land within our care into a place of healing and renewed hope.\nEco-Congregations are invited to join in throughout the day and take part in the relay between 6 and 7pm on the 9th May\, followed by an ecumenical Eucharist at 7pm.  \nJoin us on the day for this celebratory event. If you can contribute to the relay please do. Contact details below. All speeds and ages welcome: both tortoise and hare! (Running\, walking\, wheeling – whatever suits you!) \nBook a free ticket or drop-in on the day! \nTo find out more\, or to sign-up for the 24 hour relay and vigil (with time slots allocated by negotiation)\, please email Jonathan Baxter.
