Take a tour guided by a child and see the world in a new light

Take a curated tour around the city with a child as your guide. The Walking Neighbourhood offers participants and audiences a new way to see and experience places and spaces. Children are in control of developing the artistic encounter, guiding an audience, navigating the physical space and sharing their experiences of autonomy and their world, all the while creating new friendships.

The tour guides collaborate with professional artists in a series of workshops to present this intimate event, and then invite you to take a walk with people you do not know to a place you have never experienced in this way.

Bookings required. Book at The Depot.
