And we will walk 500 miles...

Well the part on the Felixstowe peninsula at least as ramblers, artists scientists and photographers are being encouraged to take part in a unique 500 mile trek of discovery, encompassing our part of Suffolk.

Beach of Dreams is an epic journey to discover the hidden gems of the east coast of England, inviting collaboration from peninsula communities and artists and others in Suffolk and Essex.

Kinetika's Artistic Director, Ali Pretty, and journalist Kevin Rushby are walking the entire route, joined by artists, writers, scientists, and local residents.

Together, guided by strong environmental themes and the challenges of our current time, all participants will consider the question "How can we creatively reimagine our future?"

The organisers would love you, your family and friends, local groups to join the journey and get involved by signing up to one or more of the 500 miles as the walk travels through Suffolk.

Everyone is invited to choose a mile to walk, submit an image of the landscape, a drawing and a few words about your connection to it and your dream for its future. All words and photos sent in will contribute to a new digital story map of the coastal path, reflecting and recording the narrative of the walk as it unfolds

You can sign up and download the beautiful activity pack which contains clear guidelines and lots of wonderful resources.

To sign up for a mile go to the walks page, select the day where your mile is and follow instructions.

These pennants will be hand painted using natural dyes by the Kinetika Design Studio and form spectacular installations during the event.
