Curiosi-Tea: Walks, Wonders, Parks & Places
Coming Soon
We will soon be launching some regular guided “walks” (physical walks as well as sensory & experiential) exploring the amazing history, heritage and gardens in the benefice of Holy Sepulchre, with a pastoral presence, following by some hospitality back at the church. Good for your mind, body and soul.
Please get in touch if you are interested in getting involved and helping us to deliver our wellbeing walks. Email us at office@hsl.church
*Our aim is to develop sensory and experiential sessions designed for those unable to participate in physical walking activities. Delivered safely within the church, these sessions use sound, storytelling, imagery, and tactile elements to evoke the atmosphere of the City’s gardens and landmarks. This inclusive approach ensures that everyone — regardless of age, mobility, or ability — can share in the experience of exploration and connection, and we hope that by removing physical barriers, Curiosi-Tea fosters equal participation, strengthens community cohesion, and promotes wellbeing through creativity, curiosity, and shared discovery.
Wellbeing Walks
Five regular guided walks with with a pastoral presence, rotating:
•Holy Sepulchre to Postman’s Park (0.3 miles, 15mins each way)
•Holy Sepulchre to Christ Church Greyfriars (0.3 miles, 15 mins each way)
•Holy Sepulchre to West Smithfield (0.1 miles, 10 mins each way)
•Holy Sepulchre to St John’s Garden Farringdon (0.5 miles, 20 mins each way)

Also, we intend to restart our annual Beating the Bounds walk and undertake an annual walk to Postman’s Park commemorating heroic self-sacrifice. More details to follow soon.
Our walks are friendly, safe and accessible and everyone is welcome. Do please fully consider your own needs before you take part and if necessary please seek medical advice before attending our Wellbeing Walks. In summary they are
· Walks range from 15 to 60 minutes in length
· At least one walk a month, starting at the church
· All walks are accessible on foot or in wheelchairs
· Walks are over easy ground and taken at steady pace to suit everyone
A few possible initial groups we are considering are:
