The Garstang Walking Festival is returning for 2025, and tickets are now on sale.
Running from May 3 to 11, the event, headquartered in Garstang, Lancashire, is organised by the Friends of Garstang Walking Festival and supported by Wyre Council. With more than 40 walks catering to all ages and abilities, it’s an opportunity to visit the Wyre’s countryside and coastline. Garstang Walking Festival is part of the wider Great Outdoors series of events, which includes many activities throughout the year.
Walks take place around Garstang, rural Wyre, the Forest of Bowland and Morecambe Bay. Participants can choose from a diverse range of walks including the three-day Wyre Way Challenge, easy access short walks, family activities, evening walks, wildlife strolls, heritage rambles, dog friendly trails and more.
The Friends of Garstang Walking Festival group is looking for volunteers to help lead walks and coordinate events. Anyone interested in volunteering should email greatoutdoors@wyre.gov.uk
Councillor Lynne Bowen, Portfolio Holder for Leisure, Health and Community Engagement at Wyre Council, said: “Garstang Walking Festival has been a beloved event for over 21 years and continues to grow in popularity. With such a wide variety of walks, there’s truly something for everyone. My sincere thanks go to the Friends of Garstang Walking Festival, volunteers, walk leaders and all the staff who make this event possible.
“Last year marked a significant rise in ticket sales for the Garstang Walking Festival, and we eagerly anticipate even more participants joining this year, relishing the opportunity to explore Wyre’s Great Outdoors.”
