Walk Leicester Festival - Come and Celebrate Walking!

Come and celebrate walking with the Walk Leicester Festival hosting events throughout the month of May! Everyone is invited to join us for the Walk Leicester Festival, no matter your level of fitness or ability!

The festival is a showcase of all Leicester has to offer on foot – most sights and attractions are within a short stroll of the city centre, so people are encouraged to walk to the events. Walks will take place all around the city, including streets, parks and waterways.
