Since 2015, Refugee Tales walkers have made a large-scale walk every summer in solidarity with refugees, asylum seekers, and people who have been held in immigration detention. Working in collaboration with migrants and those who have experienced the UK asylum system, and taking Chaucer’s great poem of journeying as a model, established writers and people with lived experience of detention have shared tales in evening events.

A quartet from Chineke! will join host Aida Edemariam in an evening of music. Thank you to the Migration and Movement Signature Research Theme and the University of Kent for their support.
