About the walk

Join artist Mita Solanky for a walk around Fruit Routes – our edible route of hundreds of fruit and nut trees and bushes on the Loughborough University campus. This is the first in a series of walks following the seasons with our senses and connecting in embodied ways to experience nature.

As the days get shorter, we’ll embrace the practices that allow the earth to rest and recover. We will allow ourselves to align with the natural rhythms of the season and slow down to notice the invisible work of healing.

The walk will start at the Barefoot Orchard, located next to the Paddock and (almost) opposite Pilkington library. Look for the Fruit Routes information board near the Geography Weather Station.

This event is free, no need to book and all are welcome (students, staff and the local community). We will be walking along running routes and natural paths, so please wear suitable footwear and dress for the weather!
