The Walk - Coventry Embraces
After walking through the city, Little Amal will witness the first Children’s Citizenship Ceremony and Celebration, designed by and for the young people of Coventry.
The evening is a theatre performance in University Square, featuring sound, light and choreography.

Amal remembers her hometown and is reminded that she will always have a place in Coventry.
[Trigger Warnings: Please note, the performance contains flashing lights, haze, pyrotechnics, bombing effects and loud noises.]
