Festival 2025

Remembrance Walk

Organised by Fleur Hoole, celebrant

Newhailes House & Gardens, Musselburgh

Tuesday 4 November, 10am - 11:30am

This activity is open to the public. Please register in advance.

A gentle wander and an opportunity to remember, to tell stories and to celebrate people we love who have died. Followed by a cosy cuppa in the Glasshouse behind the Stables Courtyard.

This activity will begin with a walk in their grounds with a few pauses for reflection - one to read a short poem, one to write names onto leaves to float downstream or scatter into the wind, and the last one to hold a short 5-senses meditation in the shell grotto - with the opportunity to add a shell to the grotto, which is a remembrance monument in the grounds of Newhailes House. This will be followed by a cuppa and a chance to chat in the Glasshouse.

Celebrant Fleur Hoole is supported by the National Trust for Scotland to hold this activity.
