Other Events

To celebrate the 10th anniversary of their accreditation as a Walkers are Welcome town, Otley WaW is putting together a walkers fair! And we have been invited.

We don’t usually share events which are not walk related but on this occasion we believe there is enough ground for us to make an exception:

it’s a community event involving three local organisations
it’s a family fun day
it’s happening locally using local facilities (Bingley Pool and Myrtle Park)

So let’s make this a success and hopefully it will be a recurring annual event for many years to come!

Saturday 19th May 2018 will see the second Bingley Canal Festival. It follows on the success of the first one organised in October 2016. At the time, it was only intended to be a one-off event of eight days across the North of England to celebrate the 200th anniversary of the official opening of the Leeds and Liverpool Canal. This time, the festival is organised solely by the Bingley local community and we are hopeful to make it an annual feature!

Bingley Walkers are Welcome is now three years old and we would like to take this opportunity to thank all our sponsors and supporters for your continued support over the past years. We will be holding our third Annual General Meeting on Tuesday 17th April 2018 at Cardigan House, Ferncliffe Road, Bingley. BD16 2TA. The meeting will start at 7.30 prompt and we will provide tea and coffee on arrival.

Cliffe Castle Heritage Park in Keighley is one of the outdoor gems of the Aire Valley. Unfortunately, this Victorian countryside park had fallen into disarray over the years and a much needed refurbishment work was needed. Following a successful bid, Bradford Council managed to secure £3.5 million from the Heritage Lottery Fund’s Parks for the People programme, and provided the remaining 1 million of the funding itself. The full restoration including the glasshouse, fountains, aviary and paths is now nearing completion and a Grand Re-opening ceremony is planned on 10th December 2017.

For a fun night out, go to Bingley Arts Centre on Thursday 28th September to see Best Foot Forward by Mikron Theatre Co. Hills and humour guaranteed!

Why not visit our stand at Bingley Show on Saturday 23rd July in Myrtle Park and find out more about Bingley Walkers are Welcome.

We will be on hand to answer any questions you may have and also advise you on walks and walking events in and around the town.
