Largactyl Shuffle - Summer Solstice Midnight Walk, CoolTan Arts

Saturday 18 - Sunday 19 June 2016

Webpage: http://www.cooltanarts.org.uk/events/midnight-walk/

Join a fun, guided midnight stroll through London on the Summer Solstice! We will be celebrating the Solstice by walking through London exploring the history and arts of the sun, lunar cycles and lunacy in the light of the moon.

We will start at the Tate Modern just before the witching hour, before heading on to a specially staged pop-up gallery exploring the history of art of the Thames, from the iconic moonlit reflections captured by Whistler to contemporary installations. We will pass by St.Paul's, the Globe Theatre, Imperial War Museum, learning about the culture and stories of the area along the way.

CoolTan Arts on Walworth Road is the next stop, for an early morning breakfast and a chance to rest your feet. The final stage of the Midnight Walk will take us to a nearby park to watch the sun rise just before 5am, and to stretch out aching limbs with a yoga session!
