The Bristol Walking Festival 2014

The Bristol Walking Festival returns this year and it’s bigger and better than ever.

BristolWalkingFestival GREEN

Bristol Walking Festival 2014 is the UK’s biggest urban walking festival with over 150 guided walks and events taking place, from the launch on Saturday 26 April at City Hall with walks from College Green, to the photography exhibition at the Create Centre.

Now over a month-long, running from Saturday 26 April to Monday 26 May, there really is something for everyone. This is your chance to get out and about exploring the city, with walks that range from a gentle lunchtime stroll enjoying the harbour, through to full day hikes. Each walk has been designed to keep you entertained giving you the chance to try out plenty of other activities alongside walking, including singing workshops and speed dating sessions.

Other local festivals such as ‘Bristol Food Connections’ are providing a number of food and drink related walks, ‘Festival of Ideas’ are hosting a selection of talks and events, and ‘Mayfest’ are offering up a chance to sample some of their trademark experimental theatre.

Full details of all the organised walks can be found in the walking festival programme which is available from your local library and Bristol Tourist Information Centre (next to the Watershed) or online at www.bristolwalkingfestival.co.uk

Bristol Walking Festival 2014 is organised by Bristol City Council in partnership with Bristol Ramblers and supported by Bristol Green Capital, SHINE and Visit Bristol.
