Key information

The Marsden Walking Festival is a yearly event that takes place every other year (on odd-numbered years). The next Festival will be in 2027.

It offers a wide range of walking and outdoor activities that are perfect for everyone, no matter their age or experience. You can find family-friendly walks, longer hikes, themed walks, talks, music, films, a marketplace and delicious food.

No matter the weather, we’ll be out there with activities, though we might have to move some indoors if things get too wild.

You can find all the details on our website, Facebook page or by signing up for our mailing list.

Anyone interested in which activities may be suited to wheelchair access or designed for young people please contact Marsden Walkers Are Welcome for details.
