Business partners, staff and students are invited to join the Enterprise Team in the second of four themed walks throughout our Jubilee year. Themed around Summer Solstice, the walk will involve meandering through our campus, learning about our facilities and exploring our green spaces, many of which are hidden and nestled away. We will talk about Canterbury Christ Church University’s commitment to sustainability and stroll past our campus hops, acting as a fitting precursor to the third walk in the Netwalking series. Finally, we will conclude by walking past our new Verena Holmes building and around the perimeter of the prison, before heading to our beautiful St Martins Priory Garden for an opportunity to network and enjoy tea and scones on the lawn. Where to meet: Outside the front of St Martins Priory - North Holmes Rd, Canterbury CT1 1PW Date and time: 21 June, 15:00 start, 17:00 finish
