The 120-miles between Winchester and Canterbury pass through some of the south-east England’s prettiest towns\, villages and pastures. Between 1956 and today plenty has changed\, but despite the narrator’s grumblings about urban encroachment much is timeless. Like a good hike\, the film is not a race and takes its time to pause and wonder at its surroundings. \nHalfway through the film there are some great scenes of a mass pilgrimage through the streets of Guildford to the site of the new Cathedral. The event\, which took place on the 4th April 1955\, marked the much delayed start of the construction of the nave\, and was clearly a celebratory occasion for the town and its surroundings. \nThe film screening will be followed by a talk about the history of the route by Mandy Bright\, a North Downs Way Ambassador. \nThis film is part of Heritage Open Days and Walking Week \n  URL:https://www.hellodorking.com/event/pilgrims-way-film-screening-talk/ CATEGORIES:Events,Good Living Festival,Wellness & Culture ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.hellodorking.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/38e54155-6c2d-43b2-81c9-1541ba6ee76b.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/London:20260920T170000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/London:20260920T190000 DTSTAMP:20260727T184334Z CREATED:20260708T124951Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260727T184334Z UID:14126-1789923600-1789930800@www.hellodorking.com SUMMARY:The Historical Herbologist Everlasting Floral Half Wreath Workshop DESCRIPTION:Step into the botanical world of The Historical Herbologist and join us for a relaxing workshop dedicated to crafting your own skincare using the wonders of nature! \nIn this hands-on workshop\, we’ll go step by step through making your own balms and salves from scratch\, from making your own infused herbal oils to exploring complementary essential oils to enhance the effects of the balms and salves. \nOnce you’ve mastered the balms and salves\, we’ll whip up a moisturising massage bar\, perfect to keep your skin hydrated through the autumn and winter months. \nEnjoy a peaceful atmosphere filled with the gentle scents of essential oils and the soothing sounds of soft music\, making this the perfect way to spend your day. \nWhether you grab your friends or come solo\, take a break from the hustle and bustle and indulge in a creative\, mindful workshop.
