The York Walking Festival will be taking place from Saturday 13 September to Sunday 28 September 2025.

Whether you're a keen walker or just looking to try something new, the York Walking Festival is a great way to explore the city on foot.

Join a guided group walk during the festival – there’s something for everyone, from gentle strolls to more challenging routes. Walk leaders will take you through York’s streets, parks and green spaces, sharing interesting sights and stories along the way.

Walking is a great way to stay active, connect with others and support a healthier environment – something more important than ever.
