Taking place on the first weekend of October half term, The New Carnival Company are hosting 6 guided, shorter, family-friendly walks with Community Art installations, dance and performance.  Taking place in Wootton, Bembridge, Niton, Brightstone and Totland and along the Medina estuary.  

Crossing the Bar is inspired by Tennyson’s famous poem of the same name, written whilst travelling across the Solent to his home in Freshwater. The poem contemplates his future, life after. The New Carnival Company has used this theme to start conversations about the future of our world as we emerge from the pandemic, and by exploring the changing relationship with our environment in the face of climate change. 

Timetable of walks can be found here and more information on the Walking Festival can be found here.  

Please note that these walks may not be buggy-friendly.
