We regret that we have decided to cancel the 2021 Walking Festival because of the on-going Covid-19 pandemic, and the uncertainties about restrictions. We have decided to aim to organise the Festival on the first May Bank Holiday 2022, assuming that restrictions will have been lifted.
We are sorry to disappoint you, but hope that we may see you in 2022. In the meantime, stay safe.

Featuring a variety of over 30 small group walks.
It will be a bit different to previous festivals. Unfortunately we will not be able to offer evening social events, but at least outside hospitality should be open by then so an after walk cuppa or pint should be possible.

The programme and bookings should be available from mid April.
