About this event

About this Event

Why not come along and walk, get active, make new friends on one of our walk leader led walks . All you need to do is book in on this free walking session. We meet at the Midas Cafe Car Park at 10am and walk along the towpath, passing the recently reopened Albert Street Cutting, and along to Bridgwater Docks. We will then return to the Midas Cafe via the same route. This walk is 4.5 miles and we expect to be back at the cafe by 1pm.

Please book one time slot per person and aim to arrive 5-10mins before the walk starts. These sessions are designed as an introduction to walking and are easy grade along our amazing towpaths. Learn a bit of history or see some awesome wildlife which is around every turn on our waterways .

Parents and Guardians are required to accompany their children on this walk.

If you can no longer attend, please cancel your ticket via Eventbrite. This event is free for all participants who attend on the day. However, if you have booked on, subsequently fail to cancel and simply don’t show up on the day, you are liable to be invoiced for the standard £10.00 administration fee, chargeable for each ticket booked.

Therefore, if your circumstances do suddenly change and you find you are no longer able to attend, please cancel via the Eventbrite ticket booking system using the link that you can find on your ticket. This can be found at the bottom of your ticket and has a link directly to “cancel my ticket”.

We ask for your co-operation in this matter. This will allow others who would otherwise have regrettably missed out due to lack of space, the opportunity to attend this event.
