About the Walking Festival
The Walking Festival is organised by Farnham Town Council and a team of volunteer walking enthusiasts. The two-week long event includes over 30 guided walks ranging from half-mile strolls to 14-mile hikes.
The walks are free to join but booking is essential.
When is the Walking Festival
The Festival starts on Sunday 19 May and ends on Sunday 2 June.
There are walks in the morning, over lunch, afternoon and early evening.
About the walks
There are 34 walks which cater for a range of interests and walking abilities.
Choose from walks which explore:
- The town centre and its historic buildings

- The Swithun’s Way
- Rowledge through the ages
- Farnham’s WW2 defences

The great variety of walks means there is something for all ages, fitness levels and walking abilities. There are also walks suitable for families.
Each walk is led by an expert in their field. They will take you on a journey of discovery and share their knowledge about local history, heritage and archaeology through to art, nature and Farnham’s industrial past.
