Walking Events

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.

On 1st August 2019 (Yorkshire Day), Bingley Walkers are Welcome are participating in the ‘Step Out’ sponsored walk organised by Cancer Support Yorkshire. This evening walk starting from Cottingley Community Centre is an occasion to raise money for this great charity which helps “local people with the emotional and physical effects of cancer, through counselling, complementary therapies and group work.”

On 14th July 2019, Bingley Walkers are Welcome are participating in the Teddymania event organised by Friends of Prince of Wales Park. For the occasion our usual monthly Sunday walk will be a special family walk. We will take adults and children up to the Park via a pram friendly route.
