Join us at The Chalk Path/Le Chemin de Craie Artist-led walk on Saturday 21st September – a walk on two halves of the same land at two edges of the same day – marking the Autumn Equinox and celebrating the deepness of time that we tiny humans exist within. 

Alison Neighbour and Elodie Merland will guide you on a walk through the deep time of the chalk cliffs at Folkestone Warren in the UK and Cap Blanc Nez in France. 

Beginning in Folkestone with a short moment of celebration as the sun rises, we will journey through the tumbled strata of the landslip to the beginning of time- the sea, where we will search for our rock ancestors and gather for a light breakfast as we look across to “the other side”. 

In the evening, we walk from Cap Blanc Nez, near Escalles, descending through the same stone, split by the rushing water of the Channel, arriving again to meet the sea as the sun sets. We will share some time together and some drinks as we look back the way we have come and forwards to the future. 

The events will be delivered bilingually in English and French.

If you would like to come, please book a ticket via the following links – you can come along to either walk or to both, but please book a separate ticket for each.

If you can’t join us on 21st, you can also experience the walk as an audio journey in your own time on both sides of the Channel, co-created with Gemma Riggs and Sébastien Cabour. Collect a map from locations around Folkestone, Calais, and Escalles (or pick one up here!); download the audio and follow the route.
