Sheffield Walking Festival

Strap on your boots and explore Sheffield on foot!

Taking place over ten days each September, Sheffield Walking Festival presents a whole host of enjoyable walks for a range of abilities, with plenty to see and discover along the way.

The festival celebrates all sides of Sheffield with routes of varying lengths and themes. You can explore the city’s varied heritage and fascinating suburbs on urban strolls or venture out to Sheffield's dramatic borders that overlap with the stunning Peak District National Park for something more challenging.

Sheffield Walking Festival is organised by Rambler groups in the South Yorkshire and North-East Derbyshire (SYNED) area alongside Sheffield Heritage Open Days, other local groups and businesses.

This year the Sheffield Walking Festival will be running 11 - 20 September 2026.
