The Suffolk Walking Festival will return in Spring 2023
13th – 28th May 2023
Created in 2007 the festival is one of the largest and longest-running walking festivals in the country. Taking place every May, celebrating Suffolk’s natural landscapes and built heritage with guided walks in every corner of the county.
The festival started life as the Heart of Suffolk Walking Festival with just 30 walks in the central part of the county. In 2010 it gained support across Suffolk to become the Suffolk Walking Festival. In 2012 a long-distance multi-day walk named The Challenge Walk was launched, and in 2018 the Fringe Festival, an opportunity to get close to nature in the very heart of the countryside, was introduced.
The festival is a great way to discover parts of Suffolk you perhaps never knew existed, learn about the county’s fascinating and ancient history, and make new friends whilst walking and talking! There is something for everyone, from short walks to long walks, family walks to history walks, even a night walk.
