About Us
Bristol Walk Fest is an annual festival taking place across the city during the whole of May.
Bristol Walk Fest has been running for over ten years and encourages people of all ages, interests and abilities to walk to enhance their health and wellbeing, and to enjoy being outside in the city.
Bristol Walk Fest brings together dozens of walking providers and local organisations, and coincides with Living Streets’ National Walking Month, 1-31 May.
Bristol Walk Fest aims to be the UK’s leading urban walking festival, and to raise the profile of Bristol as a walking destination. Our city offers a huge diversity of walks, and we want to celebrate that, while bringing people together in a way that benefits individuals, communities and the environment.
