With fingers crossed we are planning for and hope to be able to operate the full Bishop’s Castle Walking Festival 2022, however, it will be subject to government guidelines and as such we may have to change our plans at short notice. We will update these rules as the government guidance changes and it is clear that the festival will be able to go ahead as planned.
The following rules will apply:

We will contact those attending a particular walk which has to be cancelled due to any change in government guidelines for the area, or any other reason.
Refunds:
Should we have to cancel individual walks and/or the entire event, full refunds will be given for any advance bookings.
