‘Wonderful! This has opened up a whole new world for me’

Join us for a lovely Summer walk with a difference: we’ll be exploring Preston Park in Brighton past and present using a range of creative listening tools that are fun and accessible for people of all abilities. We invite you to open your ears to experience our surroundings.

What to expect:
We expect to be walking gently for just over an hour, with some uphill and uneven terrain. We will be stopping frequently to listen. It will be mild-moderate walking difficulty. Please wear appropriate walking footwear, cover your legs, and bring drinking water.

After our walk, we’ll be providing picnic-style refreshments in the park.

Is this for me?
All adults are welcome to take part in the sessions. No music-making or listening walk experience is necessary, just an openness to take part and try new things.

If you have any concerns about listening or walking, please contact us to discuss.

Brighton & Hove Music for Connection:
We are the city’s specialist community music organisation for adults of all abilities to connect and create together, for wellbeing and social inclusion.

Our Interactive Listening Walks build on our listening and soundmaking projects and sessions commissioned by British Library / The Keep, Stanmer Park Restoration Project, Changing Chalk / National Trust, ESRC / University of Brighton.
