Milton Keynes' annual Walking Festival is back from Thursday 9th - Sunday 12th May with more variety than ever before. This year's four-day programme is packed with so many exciting ways you can discover Milton Keynes' parks and green spaces. 

Take part in the festival to explore somewhere new, get closer to nature or learn about local heritage. There's more than just walking this year, with exciting group runs and cycle rides in the mix to help get everyone moving in the great outdoors.

You can make a difference at our litter picking event at Howe Park Wood, make new friends at the Women's Walking Group, walk and glide with Electra or try something new like barefoot running or forest bathing.
