The European Peace Pavement was a collaborative project led by curator Sandra Drew involving ten European countries whose cities were bombed, like Canterbury, during recent wars. Each artist came to Canterbury and carved a York paving stone donated by Canterbury City Council. It was opened by John Drummond, director of the European Arts Festival on April 13, 1993.

Installed in Dane John Gardens in 1993 it continues to be a contemporary cultural focus for international visitors to Canterbury. It suffered some vandalism and in 2013 to mark its anniversary it was refurbished and relaunched.
