Now
The Coat is currently at Friargate Quaker Meeting House, Friargate, York, YO1 9RL, where it is resting on display and can be visited between 9am and 5pm Monday- Saturday until the 1st of June (2024).
It will be going out on some visits so to be sure if it is there please call the Meeting House front desk before you set out and ask if it is on display at that time- 01904 624 065
This marks the end of the most recent “leg” of the ongoing pilgrimage - Edinburgh to York (see blue line on map below).
We are currently making plans for the next leg of the Coat’s journey, which will be from York back to Newhaven, via Bradford, Sheffield, Lincoln, Nottingham, Norwich, Ipswich, Southend-on-Sea, Canterbury and Dover.
Its pattern of life is to walk for a number of days and then to stay in a place -on display or undergoing creative repair - until a group of pilgrims is able to walk it on again.
When it is waking you can see where it is walking to and from each day by scrolling down below the map
We are committed to keep the Coat walking and working whilst the climate and ecological situation remains an emergency.
To explore the full schedule please look at our route spreadsheet HERE.
Future:
The next walk will be York - Bradford, on Sunday 2nd - Friday 7th June. Please do email us if you would like to join part of this walk.

SUPPORT
As the work of the Coat of Hopes continues, we do have some running costs to cover, such as this website, costs relating to travel and display and upkeep of the coat. Nobody involved is working for anything, but out of love!
If you felt able to contribute anything towards these costs it will enable the continuation of sharing the Coat of Hopes.
