Dear Stranger invites you to write a letter to someone you’ve never met—and receive one in return. A quiet, powerful exchange of words, connection, and kindness, delivered by our Posties.
Dear Stranger turns the simple act of letter writing into a powerful tool for connection. Created by artist Tilda Cobham-Hervey, this unique activation invites festival-goers to sit, pause, and write a heartfelt note to someone they’ve never met, sharing thoughts, stories, or words of encouragement. In return, every participant receives a letter from another stranger, creating unexpected moments of reflection, kindness, and meaningful exchange. At the heart of the experience are our friendly Posties, who hand-deliver the letters and spark gentle conversation along the way. With pen, paper, and a bit of curiosity, Dear Stranger invites people to connect in a way that’s deeply human, one letter at a time. Thoughtful, surprising, and quietly powerful, Dear Stranger offers a rare chance to slow down and connect with others through the written word.
