Booking
All of the walks have limited spaces so booking ahead is essential. To book, please visit each individual event page. Tickets for tours are £5 each unless stated and the times and starting points are given on each event's page. Most walks are not circular, but we'll direct you back to a familiar location. Or join us for rest, refreshments and conversation at the end of each walk!
What to Bring
Whatever the weather, please dress accordingly. The ground conditions for each event is described in the programme, though most don’t stray far from the pavement. Sensible shoes as standard and accessibility is described. Most events just require you to book and turn up, but if any extra equipment is needed, this will be described in the programme. You may like to arrive a few minutes early to allow the event to begin promptly – and to say hello!
Terms and Conditions
- If you cannot attend an event, refunds can be issued or tickets reallocated to another name up to two days before the event, after which no tickets can be refunded.
- No refunds will be issued unless the guide cannot undertake the walk and every effort will make sure the event runs as advertised. Most events cannot be rescheduled but may be delayed to allow for a break in bad weather: this decision will factor in also ticket holders' later commitments, nightfall and the wider event programme. The guide and organiser’s decision on bad weather should be accepted.
- Events may be documented photographically for the future promotion of Still Walking events or to promote other events we become involved in: please advise the organiser if you would prefer not to appear in these depictions.
- Terrain, accessibilty and suitability for children and pets will be described in the event details. Children must be accompanied by an adult. Please wear clothing suitable for the weather and environment. Where they exist, please use the pavements, pedestrian crossings and avoid walking ahead of the guide.

Hob Nobs
What if it rains? We’re a hardy bunch and will press on with the tour in all but the very worst weather. If it proves to be absolutely horrible, we thought it would be a shame for a like-minded group of people to trudge home in the rain when they could be talking to each other over a hot drink and a biscuit or three. We’ve identified nearby sheltered space for each event for the guide to chat about their work, answer your questions and listen to your ideas.

Tickets are sold on the understanding that there will be a wet weather alternative (see Hob Nobs) if the weather should be too bad to undertake the walk.

About Still Walking:
Still Walking is a social enterprise business incorporated as a Community Interest Company in 2015. Our aim is to bring a creative approach to guided tours and walking events in Birmingham and in cities and countries further afield. Our events are aimed at the walking community which may be comprised of curious citizens, visitors to the city, urban explorers, people seeking active social events, researchers, students, artists and a variety of creative participants. Our community is united by a desire to extend their awareness of their environments, encounter new outlooks, knowledge and experiences, to grow closer to their city to enhance their health and sense of wellbeing.
We have staged nine programmes of walking events since 2012, bringing over a hundred new guided tours to Birmingham’s walking community, and working with over seventy different guides from all walks of life. Most of these have been co-created or supported by the SW team.
The festivals are merely the most visible aspect of the whole Still Walking experience. There’s a lot of activity behind the scenes: undertaking research, forging partnerships, supporting the new guides and advising on walking activity around the country.

SW Directors: Ben Waddington, Roxanna Collins, Darryl Georgiou
Festival intern: Heidi Geppus
