The Malvern Walking Festival will return this summer for its 18th annual festival from Saturday 27 May to Sunday 4 June 2023.

All the walks take place in and around the Malvern Hills and some further afield in Worcestershire & Herefordshire.

During the festival there will be over 70 walks available across the 9 days. There are multi-day walks, all day walks and shorter half day walks. Many walks are themed covering heritage, local history, geology, water, farming and gardens plus a couple of walks dedicated to beer and breweries.

For the first time, there will also be a 3 day Cotswold railway walk, combining a train ride to the start and walk back to the station each day.

All walks are graded from ‘gentle’ to ‘strenuous', with the most strenuous walk being the popular 31 mile Worcestershire Way in a day.
