Could you be a Walking and Wheeling Festival volunteer?
Last year’s Walking and Wheeling Festival had a great team of volunteers who made events possible by leading and supporting the many groups across the Borough.
We have now started recruitment for the Summer/Autumn 2026 event - and the team is looking forward to hearing from anyone who can offer their time. You will help run a programme of free events, including self-led and guided walks of various lengths and difficulties. They cover a range of themes, with something suitable for all ages and abilities.
Walking and Wheeling took the Borough by storm last year with over 400 taking part and completing over 1,400km across 30 routes over 30 days – which is more than walking or wheeling from Eastleigh to Edinburgh and back again!
Funding for this year comes from Hampshire County Council Public Health via the Active Travel Grant and is delivered in partnership with the Walk Wheel Cycle Trust (formally Sustrans). The event is supported by Eastleigh Borough Council.
