Marking 80 years from the end of the Second World War and remembering those who gave so much for our freedom, Farnham Maltings and its communities reflect on what that freedom means to us now, in 2025.

Poet Laureate Simon Armitage’s poem, Freedom Road, describes freedom as being on the move, seeing your neighbour’s washing flapping in the breeze, strolling where you want and listening when people ask. Using the poem as a starting point, Becci Kenning of Art in Transit has engaged with communities and a primary school in the Farnham and Aldershot areas. Together, they have created a collaborative promenade piece of art – using text, fabric, light, and audio – to be installed at Farnham Maltings for the public to come and experience, and they’d love you to be there!
