This free event took place from 9.30 am to 1.30 pm. People could walk the whole trail or join one or more parts of this trail, visiting the Bristol Hindu Temple, the Bristol Bahai Centre, the Bristol Central Mosque and the Bristol and West Progressive Synagogue.

Each visit lasted roughly 45 minutes and walks between venues were about 10 to 20 minutes long.

End Location: Bristol & West Progressive Synagogue, 43/47 Bannerman Rd, Bristol BS5 0RR

Distance: 2.5 miles

Duration: 1 hr walking/4 hr event in total with visits

Joint organisers were Bristol Multi Faith Forum and Inner City and East Bristol Health Team

It was really well attended, with 18 to 24 walkers joining, including the then Lord Mayor, Councillor Cleo Lake.

The majority of walkers had no faith, 3 “kind of” and none of the walkers had been into the Bahai centre or other venues before.
