High Weald Walking Festival 2026

Join us for the 9th High Weald Walking Festival, running from Saturday 12 to Sunday 20 September 2026.

​The High Weald Walking Festival offers FREE guided and self-guided walks for all, every September. Whether you are new to walking or a seasoned rambler, there’s a walk for you!

Dogs: We leave it up to our volunteer walk leaders to decide if they are happy to welcome your four-legged friends – most walks are dog-friendly but it is clearly marked on each walk listing, so please do check before you book or turn up.

See the guided walks programme here: High Weald Walking Festival Programme 2026

Self-guided walks: from the 1st to the 30th September you can also download a range of self-guided walks and explore the High Weald at your own pace.
