We have walks and workshops for ALL levels over four days in September and as there is sooo much to choose from we have made it simple to search by activity or by the day. You can also download the PDFs for each day so you can plan the perfect festival experience.
Remember - booking for activities opens in June when the schedule is complete and only those with Festival passes can select their 3 activities a day. Once all pass holders have booked 3 walks, they may be able to add others if capacity allows.
We look forward to seeing you in sunny Dorset soon!
Thank you for another wonderful Dorset walking festival. All the hard work you put in to organising it is really appreciated.I am looking forward to 2026’s festival already, it will be my 8th one, and is one of the highlights of my year!
I just wanted to say I thoroughly enjoyed the festival , as did my old school friend who now lives in France. It exceeded my expectations as the walks were so much fun and everyone so friendly and welcoming . The workshops were also informative and the silent disco good fun. As I attended as an individual with my friend I did not expect to be welcomed so warmly . The social event at the golf club was a great success . I felt very invigorated by the weekend and and only wish there were more local walks by me ( South Birmingham). Thank you to all the great WALX walk leaders who shared their knowledge of beautiful Dorset . I do hope to join the festival again
Thank you for another amazing festival in 2025- we all thoroughly enjoyed our walks and we thought the Saturday venue, food and location was the best so far.
