What is T100?
T100 is an annual walking, talking 
and making festival that encourages
multiple stories to surface in Thurrock.
It began as a walking celebration 
of Thurrock – 10 miles, 10 walks, 
10 days, hence the name T100.
Over the last ten years, we’ve travelled
on a journey with a growing team of
local volunteers, artists and partners.
We’re excited to be Going Wild this
summer! From a Garden Party to 
a celebratory flag parade through
Grays with a whole host of walks 
and activities in between, there’s
something for everyone to enjoy.
All T100 walks and events are
free and are led by guides and
community members with the
support of experienced Kinetika
team and stewards.
Feel free to contact the team 
hello@t100festival.co.uk
with any questions.
Book your
free spaces
via our
website
to join us as
we Go Wild!
Come and
celebrate our tenth
anniversary with us
as we parade through
Grays town centre
on Saturday 22 June.
