The North Kesteven Walking Festival is an annual celebration of the District’s extensive walking trails.

Last year, the festival attracted hundreds of participants, who collectively covered over 200 miles of walking trails. The festival is inclusive of all ages, abilities, and fitness levels, providing a social walking experience that is unparalleled by other events. The festival aligns with North Kesteven District Council’s (NKDC) commitment to physical activity and is an integral part of the Countryside NK partnership with Hill Holt Wood, a charity and social enterprise. Hill Holt Wood maintains over 130 miles of Stepping Out walks in the region and has been organising the festival since 2018.

This year, join us on over 70 walks that will be dispersed across North Kesteven’s 356 square miles of charming villages, historic churches, and vibrant landscapes.

The festival relies on the dedication and expertise of volunteer walk leaders, local businesses, and partners who collectively make the walking festival a reality. We extend our heartfelt gratitude for their invaluable contributions and support.
