GM Walking Festival 2024

Welcome to the GM Walking Festival 2024. We’re delighted to have you as part of this celebration of walking and wheeling.

The GM Walking Festival 2024 has more than 350 walking and wheeling events throughout the month of May, to align with National Walking Month, for you, your colleagues, your family and friends, and your local community to get stuck into.

Every May, we see thousands of people across Greater Manchester discover the joy of walking and wheeling, connecting with new and old friends, and enjoying their local area.

The festival is a fantastic opportunity for individuals to meet new people and discover the joy being active in the outdoors.
