St Mary’s Episcopal Cathedral, Edinburgh is hosting an Active Travel, Active Hope event in conjunction with A+E (a socially engaged art project) and supported by the Walk Wheel Cycle Trust (formerly Sustrans).
- Daytime event: 10am-2pm, 9th May 2026
- Relay and vigil: 12pm 9th May – 12pm 10th May
We would like to encourage charges to come along to the main event and to participate in the 24-hour relay. Join Iain Johnstone, representing the Net Zero Team, in running, walking or wheeling the perimeter of the cathedral.
The relay is a symbol of the individual and collective energy needed to address the climate and ecological crisis, political polarisation and war; to transform the land within our care into a place of healing and renewed hope.
An open air ecumenical eucharist will take place on the south lawn at 7pm.
The event will also include guided walks, talks, performances, information stalls, exhibitions, art workshops, and a bike repair station. The event also celebrates the recently opened cycle path along Bishop’s Walk.
