Residents and visitors are invited to step out and explore the Borough as Telford Walk Week returns from Monday 25 May to Sunday 31 May 2026, offering a week-long celebration of walking, wellbeing and the great outdoors.
Delivered as part of Telford & Wrekin Council’s events and culture programme, the week features a diverse programme of free walking activities for all ages and abilities, encouraging people to get active while discovering Telford’s green spaces, heritage and communities.
From family-friendly nature walks, storytelling strolls and yoga in the park, to military history trails, orienteering challenges and litter-pick walks, Telford Walk Week offers plenty of ways to get involved, whether you’re a seasoned walker or just starting out. Activities include a mix of guided walks led by local experts and self-guided routes for those who prefer to explore at their own pace.
The week will conclude with Telford’s Big Walk on Sunday 31 May, a mass participation event bringing together multiple walks from across the borough, all finishing with a celebratory meet-up in Telford Town Park.
Councillor Angela McClements, Telford & Wrekin Council Cabinet Member for Leisure, Culture & The Arts, said: “Telford Walk Week is a fantastic opportunity for people of all ages to enjoy being active, connect with nature and explore the many beautiful places that make our borough so special.
“As part of our events and culture programme, this week supports healthier lifestyles while bringing communities together in a fun, inclusive way. Whether you’re joining a guided walk or taking part in Telford’s Big Walk, there’s something for everyone to enjoy.”
Many of the walks link to existing local programmes, making it easy for residents to continue walking beyond the week and build lasting healthy habits.
