Join us for family-friendly strolls during July and August!
Our family-friendly strolls are short and steady paced, with fun themes and activities for kids and parents. Aimed at younger kids and primary-school aged children, although older children are welcome to attend. All children must be accompanied by an adult.
Walks are free to attend, booking essential. For full details of each walk and to book, please visit Eventbrite via the links below or phone during office hours.
For our School’s Out Summer Strolls, one family ticket covers one adult and their children. If there is more than one adult in your family group, please book additional adult tickets, as required. This helps us keep the group size manageable.
Information about the pace of our walks (and much more) can be found on our Leicester City Council Group Walks page.
