Walking Groups

Our sociable walking groups, set up by Sutton Befrienders, help people in the community stay active, meet others and enjoy the benefits of walking in a safe, friendly and welcoming group.

Everyone is welcome, whether you come along on your own or with a friend. There’s no need to book — simply turn up and look out for our walk leaders in their blue high-vis jackets.

Come along, get active and enjoy a friendly walk with some company!

All walks last about 45 minutes.
