The project is led by artist Barbara Keal, with the coat, which has been made by, worn by and walked by more than 2,000 people, for a distance of over 1000 miles, currently on display at Bradford Cathedral until June 29.

The Coat of Hopes will be staying with the Community of the Resurrection, on Stocks Bank Road, enroute from York to Norwich, during the festival, with people invited to look at it and wear it.
