Otley Walking Festival 2026

by Bingley WaW | posted in: Walking Events | 0

This long running walking festival is now in its 25th edition! This year there will be almost 50 different walks on offer. Like our own Bingley Celebration of Walking, it is entirely ran by volunteers and like us, Otley is part of the Walkers are Welcome town network. So with so much in common, we are very delighted to be part of the adventure this year by offering to lead a walk for the festival. And as it turns out, it’s not uncommon for the Otley Festival to offer walks outside of the town boundaries. The entire Walking Festival runs from Saturday 27th June to Sunday 5th July 2026, we will have our walk on Saturday 4th July.
