BACK by popular demand from Friday, September 27, to Sunday, September 29, is the fifth annual Haslemere Walking Festival funded by the town council.

Routes for all ages and abilities range from a bracing South Downs hike, to the bat walk with Surrey Bat Group, the dramatised Sir Robert Hunter trail, the wild learning walk, blue plaque trail and navigation walk.

All walks are free and guided. Pre-booking for walks is essential as numbers are limited.
