Full Schedule: HERE

It is this journey that will launch The Coat of Hopes on its onward travels through the land.  And, as such, it is an invitation for all to experience, wear, and sing with the Coat. As well as a space for people to explore the possibility of becoming, and to develop their way of being a ‘Coat Guardian’ themselves as the Coat travels on indefinitely.

This whole journey, from Glasgow to Edinburgh (Leg 01) and then from Edinburgh onward to York (Leg 02), The Next Chapter of the Coat’s life, will only be made possible by the willingness of many new pilgrims to walk with and share the Coat.

If you would like to join us - either as a pilgrim accompanying and supporting the Coat on its walk or as a Coat Guardian responsible for sharing the Coat and its work
- please email yes@coatofhopes.uk
with your contact details and we will register your interest.
