Coat of Hopes arrives at Nottingham Playhouse

The Coat of Hopes is a patchwork pilgrim coat, on an ongoing walk through Britain.

It has been made, worn and walked by many hundreds of people during and since the pilgrimage on which it was created – from the south coast of England to the gates of COP 26, the UN climate summit, in Glasgow autumn 2021. It is made up of pieces of blanket into which people have worked their griefs, remembrances, prayers and hopes for the place they call home, as a respsonse to the climate and ecological emergency.

It will arrive on Thu 14 Nov, 2pm at Nottingham Playhouse.

2pm – 5.30m It will be displayed in the foyer. Helen Locke who has walked with the coat will be in attendance. The Green Team will visit, and the Coat Song will be sung between 5pm –  5.30pm

3pm – 5pm Tanya, who is bringing the coat will be running a participation session with Kindred Spirits

Patches will be left for crafters/staff to sew and send on.  Staff and the public are all invited to come look, wear and contribute to the coat by collecting a patch making kit to send on after it leaves us.
