Hulked Walking and Writing the Estuary

Saturday 28 September 2024, 10.00 a.m. to 7.30 p.m

Outdoors at Lower Halstow dock and The Old Brickworks, Lapwing drive, Lower Halstow ME9 7DZ and on Sailing Barge Edith May

Across the Thames Estuary, hundreds of wooden skeletons are dissolving into the mud and sand. In the hinterland between land and sea the hulks of the old Thames Barges lie dissolving into the mud…

Join the Hulked Team for an immersive walking and writing workshop inspired by the new Hulked soundwalk to journey along the Medway coastline and through the old brickfields attuning your senses to the voices of the past. You can dip in and out throughout the day (see the agenda).

The day will include a guided writers’ walk, talks by writers Maria C. McCarthy and Caroline Millar, a creative writing workshop onboard Edith May, followed by live performances from the Hulked soundwalk, and an open mic.

  1. Walk and observe: Immerse yourself in the estuary’s rich environment
  2. Listen and uncover: Tap into the stories buried in the rich muds of the estuary
  3. Create and share: Transform your discoveries into written expression
