Salford Walking Festival 2026The Salford Walking Festival is back! This is your chance to explore the hidden gems of Salford, including over 60 parks and greenspaces.

As part of the festival, we are offering a series of free one-off Wellbeing Walks throughout September and October.

The walks provide a relaxed, sociable and fun environment and range from 30 minutes to 1 hour long in length. The 30 minute walks will be fully accessible, at a slower, steadier pace.

All Wellbeing Walks are co-ordinated by Salford Community Leisure and are led by trained volunteers.
