Walking festivals
We are supporting the Hike and Bike Hub in Galashiels with the Walking and Wheeling Weekend taking place from 5 to 7 September 2024.
Hike and Bike Hub are working with ourselves, local stakeholders and Walk It volunteers to offer an extensive programme of events and the website will be updated as more events and activities are added.
Borders walking festival history
For 2024, there will be no Scottish Borders Walking Festival.
The first week long walking festival was held in West Linton in 1994.
Since then, Scottish Borders Walking Festival has moved from town to town each year.
Festival goers come from around Britain and the world to experience the best of the Borders landscape.
The legacy of this long running festival has been the creation of annual weekend walking festivals in some Borders towns.
