"a brilliant piece of work which has been greatly appreciated. I've had some very good feedback already from people - it's clearly made folk think."
Fr David Rowett - Parish priest, Barton on Humber
 THE LABYRINTH
As part of the Richmond Walking and Book Festival, we have created a labyrinth walk based on the medieval pathway set into the floor of Chartres Cathedral. With monks, music, poetry and meditation this has proved one of the most popular events of the Festival.
"What was fantastic about the Labyrinth was the many different ways that people used it, from the spiritual to the silly, the sublime to the ridiculous. Children as young as 3 toddling around it for sheer joy, thoughtful and barefoot meditators, exercisers power walking with stop watches, even a small group commemorating a fellow walker who had died that year.
"It was in every sense a moving experience."
Gillian Howells - Festival Co-ordinator
We recently extended our labyrinth work indoors creating another path in St Mary's Church at Barton on Humber as part of the Barton Arts Festival.
