Discover Horton Heath
through a new lens this September

Residents are invited to experience the natural landscapes of One Horton Heath in a completely different way this September as part of Eastleigh Borough Council’s Walking and Wheeling Festival.

Join One Horton Heath’s Artist in Residence, Simon Bray, for one of two free guided Sensory Photo Walks, exploring how spending time in nature and taking photographs can positively influence our sense of wellbeing.

Last year, Simon was also selected to undertake a PhD inspired by the evolving landscape of One Horton Heath, continuing his work exploring the relationship between people, place and nature.

Whether you’re an experienced photographer or simply enjoy taking photos on your phone, these relaxed walks are open to everyone. As you explore Horton Heath’s green spaces, Simon will encourage you to slow down, engage your senses and capture the landscape from a fresh perspective.
