Women's Day Walk

Celebrate Women’s history with CoolTan Arts Largactyl Shuffle, a guided, stigma-busting cultural walk, designed to encourage mental health and physical wellbeing through art, exercise, humour and history.

For March’s Largactyl Shuffle we will walk through Ruskin Park, Myatts Fields and other green spaces to celebrate International Women’s Day and uncover stories of inspirational women from Southwark and Lambeth.

We will be stopping for short talks along the way on Olive Morris, who set up the Brixton Black Women’s Group; the writer, philosopher and advocate for women’s rights, Mary Wollstonecraft; South London’s contemporary women artists; WW1 and the empowerment of women, and much more!

Please meet us outside the entrance of Maudsley Hospital from 11.45am to register. The walk leaves at 12pm prompt and the full length walk will end at approx. 4pm at the Feminist Library, London SE1 7XW. Please wear comfortable shoes and bring your own water.

Largactyl Shuffle walks are suitable for all levels of walking and are accessible to wheelchair users and people with disabilities.

You can join us for whatever tickles your fancy feet, whether it is half a mile, one mile or the full distance.

The walk leaders wear orange high-viz vests and rucksacks. Call CoolTan Arts on 07985 658443 if you cannot find the walking group on the day.
