“The wandering of the legs gives rise to the wandering of the mind…”

SongPath returns to Leeds for a second year with a unique outdoor walking trail that blends music, nature and mental health. This year we explore the rich natural world and history of the 900 year-old ruins of Kirkstall Abbey, where nature intertwines with spectacular Gothic architecture.

Singers Jess Dandy and Joanna Harries are joined by guest musicians and speakers to unearth a wealth of creative connections with the world around us through music, poetry, art and science. Join us for a nourishing morning of walking, talking and music-making in nature.

Please note that this event takes place outdoors, involving walking and standing. Please wear suitable clothing and footwear.

If you have any accessibility concerns, please let us know as soon as possible so that we can accommodate you.
