What's On
An event for keen hikers, relaxed wanderers, and curious explorers alike, the festival is a friendly coming together in the great outdoors for all ages, offering a chance to meet new people, learn and discover the many wonders of the Island.
This year's walks are still to be released, however the Isle of Wight Spring Walking Festival always promises an array of walks and treks, including some old favourites from over the years. Most walks are free or with a donation to charity and led by volunteers and local businesses keen to share with you the Island’s varied landscape, thriving wildlife and rich heritage.
Once available to book, you can choose a route to suit your ability, be it a heart-racing hike, gentle stroll, or walks that the whole family can enjoy - there is something for everyone.
Head over for a day or stay for longer; with over 500 miles of footpaths across beautiful countryside and dramatic coastlines, once you’re across there will be no stopping you.
