About this event

Community • Nationality

We meet at the Katyn Memorial in Gunnersbury Cemetery to pay tribute to those whose lives were bestially cut short . This will be followed by a guided walk through the cemetery noting Polish graves there, particularly those to do with the time of the Second World War.

We will then walk into Gunnersbury Park and take the opportunity to have a refreshment break at a cafe in the park and a discussion around the theme of Katyń and Poles in post-war UK.

Finally we will visit the museum where we will see some of the Polish exhibits there. People can stay on and spend more time looking round the museum if they so wish.

This is the second in a series of two events to bring us together honouring memory and fostering dialogue 85 years on since the Katyń atrocities. As before, Talking and Exploring has teamed up with The Polish Social and Cultural Association (POSK) and The Polonia Aid Foundation Trust to familiarise the diverse community of London with the events that shaped the fate of so many.

A few more things:

Our walks are as much about sharing what we know and making new friends as they are about learning about the places we see, topics we explore, and from the people we visit.

Pictures are taken during our walks and some of the walk may be recorded so please let us know if you do not want to be included.

You take part in our events at your own risk although we take all the precautions to assess the route prior to the walks.

As it is a walking tour, please make sure you wear suitable footwear and clothing, and be especially careful on this route as there are some uneven surfaces.

If you can no longer attend, please cancel your ticket or notify us so we could offer your place to someone else.

Please email us if you have any questions regarding the walk and check your mailbox before the walk.

You can find Talking and Exploring on social media: website, Facebook, Instagram, Google and join our fanpage to see and share pictures, posts and comments or reviews.

Feel welcome to contact us to arrange a bespoke tour for your group or to sponsor a walk arranged and led by us.

We look forward to seeing you!
