City of Floating Sounds invites you to travel through the city listening to fragments of Huang Ruo's new symphony before its world premiere at Aviva Studios. You can make your own way to the venue or join in at one of our suggested starting places. This route begins in Ordsall Park.

At 1.3 miles, this is the longest route, suitable for those comfortable travelling slightly longer distances and moving at a slightly quicker pace.

The route begins in the beautiful Ordsall Park, in a residential area away from the city centre. The journey continues via Ordsall Road, mixing quiet residential streets with a flavour of a busier city environment.

The final leg of the route switches it up again, guiding you away from the urban environment and alongside a scenic canal side on the final stretch towards Aviva Studios, accessed via the Ordsall Footbridge.

Though the route is accessible, the section alongside the canal has moments of terrain that might be challenging for wheelchair users.
