Inspiring you to Walk in Gorge-ous Surroundings

Our main event is our nine day annual Walking Festival which always starts on the first Saturday of the May Day Bank Holiday. 2025 marks our 20th year of walking in the Gorge. We also offer a much smaller Autumn Festival in September and our Sunday Socials start in October through to March. â€‹â€‹
