We had set aside our original plans for this walk due to the persistent rain, and opted for a more urban walk this time.
We started our walk in the art gallery space upstairs, where we laid down our challenge for the Light Walkers: could they look at the town of Wellingborough as an art gallery?
Jo gave each of the Light Walkers red dots and asked them to find "artworks" on the walk that they would like to "buy" and stick their red dot sticker next to that, to show it was "sold".
Since we had not planned this walk, Jo then introduced the team to the ideas of the Situationists and the concept of the dérive, and suggested that we take a walk driven by chance. Carole then explained how this would work, using a "fortune teller" she had made up from a map. The fortune teller dictated the direction of the walk.
And so we set off West, as directed by the fortune teller. It didn't take long before we started finding "artworks" to buy.
As we continued on our walk, we 'spotted' the following artworks on our way, and we feel this is a great exhibition created by the town of Wellingborough and curated by our Light Walks team. We hope you enjoy it!

We ended the day exploring the terrific Museum; here's John playing on their pianola!
We have one more Light Walk to do in October, followed by a celebratory exhibition. The venue is still to be decided (but contact us if you have any suggestions!), so check back soon for confirmation - we would love you to come along for our final celebration of a year of walking!
