Launched in 2004, Garstang Walking Festival has become a firm favourite with locals and visitors alike. Over the span of 20 years, the festival has flourished, and now boasts more than 40 diverse walks catering for all ages and abilities. Coordinated by the Friends of Garstang Walking Festival and supported by Wyre Council, you can join expert rangers and dedicated volunteers to explore the best of Wyre. This year's festival takes place on Saturday 4 May until Sunday 12 May. To explore the programme and book visit www.wyre.gov.uk/garstangwalkingfestival.
On offer, as part of the festivities, is the Coronation Walk. Launched last year in honour of His Majesty The King's Coronation, Wyre Council has integrated this walk into the Garstang Walking Festival programme. From Cherestanc Square, the one-hour walk will go down one of Garstang's many weinds, pass through the high street and on to the riverside paths of Millennium Green before circling back to Cherestanc Square. It will be be led by the popular Skiband, who are making a welcome return to this year's celebrations.
Also joining in the festivities is Garstang`s popular Ukelele band and at Cherestanc Square will be Maurice, the rodeo sheep. Climb onto Maurice's back and see how long you can hang on as he twists and turns to try and throw you off. The Coronation Walk is open to all. You can follow the walk at your own pace. For those with limited mobility, electric trampers can be hired, please email greatoutdoors@wyre.gov.uk in advance as limited numbers are available.
