Screening: Walking For Wellbeing: Around Morecambe Bay with William Wordsworth

FREE screening. On the eve of World Mental Health Day, join us for a free film screening that showcases the physical and emotional benefits of walking in nature.
?How bountiful is Nature! ? Quit your couch,? urged William Wordsworth in The Excursion?and in the summer of 2025, over 200 walkers took him at his word.
Guided by an actor voicing Wordsworth?s verse, they explored the dramatic landscapes of Morecambe Bay, from Black Combe and Piel Island to Fleetwood, and even undertook a crossing of the Bay itself. This stunning new film captures these poetic journeys and uncovers Morecambe Bay?s surprising role in the early days of Lake District tourism?when Wordsworth himself was very much part of the story.
The screening lasts 30 minutes, with an optional 15 minute Q&A with project organisers and participants. The timings have been set this way so that audiences can attend this AND continue on for The Picture of Dorian Gray at 7.30pm in the Cockpit Theatre if desired (separate ticket required).
?Walking for Wellbeing: Around Morecambe Bay with William Wordsworth? is a partnership between Lancaster University, Wordsworth Grasmere, and Trek Therapy.
