Summary
The plans for the National Forest Walking Festival 2027 are now underway, and the festival will take place from Friday 21 May to Wednesday 2 June 2027. The festival brochure will be available in early March 2027.
We're now inviting walk leaders and event organisers to get involved. This year's theme is "Stories from the Forest", and we'd love to see walks and activities that celebrate the development of the Forest and the people, heritage and cultures that have shaped it.
Your walk or event does not have to follow the theme, but if you can incorporate it in some way, we'd be delighted to hear your ideas.
If you would like to lead a walk or host an event, please complete the form below by 29 October 2026 to help us put the programme together:
