Welcome to the Church Stretton Walking Festival website.

The dates for our 2018 Festival were: 21st - 24th June.

Church Stretton Walking Festival is continuing to benefit from the injection of new energy and ideas provided by it's many volunteers.

Mainly made up of locals, the volunteers lead groups along favourite routes as well as lesser known ones and the introduction of themed walks in 2015, including the Map & Compass Course, the night time Stars in Your Skies Walk, and the Landscape Photography Walk, proved popular and will return again in 2018. The festival attracts visitors from across the country as well as from further afield including Europe and is already taking bookings. Due to the success of the Map & Compass courses we have introduced two on the weekend before the festival on Sunday 17th June so you can brush up on skills prior to the main festival.

Our thriving market town is always welcoming to visitors who can enjoy the varied local independent businesses whilst in the town or choose from one of the many excellent quality B&Bs to extend their stay. Why not stay and enjoy the local hospitality!

Details of the walks we offered this year are on our Walks Page.
