On Good Friday, 3 April 2026, members of several Swindon congregations walked together from Kings Church, down Victoria Hill and into the town centre in a public walk of reflection, a long-standing Christian tradition in the town.
The walk was organised by local churches. It paused outside the former Debenhams building, where hymns were sung and prayers were shared.
It ended at Discovery Church on Lagos Street, where those taking part were offered hot drinks and hot cross buns.
The Mayor of Swindon, Fay Howard, took part, spoke to the crowd and handed out chocolate eggs.
She said: "Good Friday is a very important date in the Christian calendar."
Of her speech, she said: "I was able to address those gathered and explain how my faith has shaped my journey".
She added: "May I take this opportunity to wish everybody a happy Easter and an enjoyable long bank holiday weekend."
