​
​Hereford Cathedral's Mappa Mundi represents the living world as it was understood by the map's medieval audience.  It is a world where history and geography, time and space, destiny and creation come together in one map.

Maps inform, direct and guid, in whichever purpose they are intended, whether this be an Ordnance Survey map, a London Underground map, or a nautical chart.

The intention of the "Kington Cloth of the World" is for the community to contribute their messages and thoughts of where they belong in the world.  For many of us, the pandemic gave us opportunity to reflect on our existence, our identity and our locality  This map enables the community to share their views by placing a written or drawn comment onto a large scale floor cloth of the world.

This map will be available for you to see, contribute to and engage with throughout the festival weekend.

​Kathryn Moore is opening her studio - Kat & Fiddle Studio, 37 Church Street - for the festival - details here
