Our experiences of Covid showed just how important community spaces are. By taking these places away, people don’t encounter one another. We put up more boundaries, we don’t understand one another and this is dangerous, it’s counter to who we are.

We’re partnering with eOne to give away two free tickets to a special gala screening of the The Unlikely Journey of Harold Fry to one lucky winner. Taking place on Tuesday 18th April, from 7pm at a central London location, the event includes a drinks reception followed by a private screening.

Mahroof joined the initial Slow Ways ‘hack day’ in January 2020 to help form its early thinking and start the process of creating a network of walking routes. He went for a walk with friend Belal and film maker Nico Hambleton to explore the idea of Slow Ways. It made sense to walk one of the Slow Ways routes, from Bishop’s Castle to Minsterley, taking in tea shops, Shropshire Hills tracks and trig points along the way. Here’s some of what they spoke about. And here’s the short film, part of a suite of ‘Slow Ways Voices’ films.

6 films of 1-2 minutes’ duration have been created by 2 film-makers to show people in different settings, enjoying walking and making use of Slow Ways for a variety of reasons.
