Now

The Coat’s pattern of life is to walk for a number of days and then to stay in a place - on display, walking locally, or undergoing creative repair - until a group of pilgrims is able to walk it on again.
When it is on the move you can see where it is walking to each day below.

We are committed to keep the Coat walking and working whilst the climate and ecological situation remains an emergency.

The Coat of Hopes will remain on the Isle of Wight from Monday 9th February to Sunday 15th March. Please see below for details of its schedule for the remaining days that it is there.
