New Forest Walking Festival

The New Forest Walking Festival is back for autumn 2024. 

The ever-popular Festival will run from Saturday 19 October to Sunday 3 November.

It’s your chance to go behind the scenes of the New Forest and find out why it’s such a special place. Join a great collection of guided walks to suit all interests and abilities, covering topics such as wildlife, photography, archaeology, and the arts.

Inclusive cycling charity PEDALL is offering confidence rides on two-wheeled bikes, including e-bikes. They also have an extensive range of specialist cycles, developed for people with additional needs.

This year’s Festival is now live! See the ‘at a glance’ page below to view the full calendar of events or click here.

When out in the Forest, please follow the New Forest code.
