Join Meadow Arts for a series of guided walks through Hay-on-Wye and Kington as part of the BorderLands exhibition programme.
Join
Sarah Price Hiking and artist
Sally Payen for a gentle 3-mile circular walk from the heart of Hay-on-Wye. The route follows Offa’s Dyke Path with sweeping views across the Wye Valley, crosses the Dulas Brook at the England–Wales border, and continues to Cusop Village Church where there is time to pause, reflect and respond creatively in a peaceful churchyard. The walk then returns to Hay-on-Wye via a different crossing of the brook, finishing in time to explore the town’s market, books and local stalls.
Sally invites you to explore how landscapes can hold memory, meaning and traces of past and present activism. Building on ideas in her
Cross-Stitch painting in
BorderLands, the walk will consider mystery, otherworldliness, environmental change and our evolving relationship with the natural world. There will also be an invitation to try embodied painting activities inspired by Sally’s practice, using ink on rice paper and watercolour. Materials are supplied, but please bring your own sketchbook if you fancy.
Please note: This is an accessible 3-mile walk with steady uphill sections and some uneven ground. It will be taken at a relaxed, sociable pace, with time to stop, notice and connect with both place and creativity.
