WalkFest is a community event aimed at raising awareness of Guildford's glorious attractions and beautiful countryside. It is organized by Guildford Walking Forum and is part of the Guildford Summer Festival. As part of this year's innovative summer programme, UniSPORT is organizing several special walks. All members of the public are encouraged to join the fun event.
The festival is a celebration of walking. We want people to experience the ease and enjoyment of walking – as well as its health and social benefits. Walks are free but donations to the charity Disability Challengers are welcome.
