Summer Night Walks by The Festival of Place

In the Summer Night Walks series, comedian Tim Ross invites leading artists, comedians, performers and public figures to take him on a walk to a special place in their neighbourhoods that has had a lasting impact on them. A place is so much more than the space it occupies; it’s the people, stories and connections that bring a place to life.
