The Coat of Hopes - meet with and try on the coat

The Mosse Memorial Hall, St Richard's Way Aldwick Bognor Regis West Sussex, PO21 3BD, United Kingdom

The Coat of Hopes is a patchwork coat that is on an ongoing walk through Britain. Made, worn and walked by hundreds of people during and since its pilgrimage from the south coast of England to COP 26, the UN climate summit, in Glasgow autumn 2021. The Coat is made up of pieces of blanket into which people have worked their griefs, remembrances, prayers and hopes for the place they call home. It carries an invitation to share our love and responsibility in facing this climate and ecological emergency. You are invited to meet with and try the coat on, and hear the story and the song of the Coat of Hopes, when it stays in Aldwick.
