Let’s Get Creative! Creative Sound Walk – Leeds Season of Culture 2026
Join us for a creative walk with sound composer Adam Martin and Rowan Bailey, Professor of Culture, People and Place along the canal. Step away from the rush and spend time by the canal. Join sound composer Adam Martin to create a sonic postcard inspired by the sounds and atmospheres of the waterway, and take part in mindful conversation with Rowan Bailey exploring the sights and stories of the canal. A relaxed and welcoming session for anyone interested in creativity, wellbeing, nature and local places. A project funded by Leeds Seasons of Culture and National Creative Health Hub (University of Huddersfield).
This is a creative canal walk from Kirkstall to Leeds City Centre
This project is part of the Seasons of Culture Programme funded by West Yorkshire Combined Authority and Leeds City Council through the Leeds Cultural Investment Programme.
Please consider using public transport to arrive at Wyther Lane Canal Car Park
Please bring a mobile device and accompanying headphones so you can listen to some sounds of the canal during our walk
Our walk will start at 10:30am
Please wear clothing and footwear suitable for the weather
