What is Walk Notts?
Walking and wheeling can dramatically improve our physical and mental wellbeing. It can reduce social isolation and inequalities; and connect communities. It can also have a positive impact on climate change and our environment.
We have a big ambition. We want to inspire, support and enable people in our city and county to walk and wheel more often, particularly those who currently don’t incorporate walking and wheeling in their everyday lives. And we want to work with organisations across the system (eg Planning, Transport, Parks, Housing, Police, Health and Social Care, Early Years and Education; Community and Voluntary groups) to make Nottingham and Nottinghamshire more safe, inclusive and accessible in order for this to happen.
We want to connect and bring those organisations together to
- listen and understand what will help in their communities and across the city and county
- enable more active neighbourhoods and environments
- target and align resources and investment
- develop and empower walking and wheeling advocates and workforce
- help people to understand the benefits of walking and wheeling; and enable them to find and access walking opportunities that work for them, right from their front door.

Walk Notts Festival – May 2026
May is National Walking Month and we wanted to encourage people across the City and County to walk and wheel in ways that work for them.
Walk Notts Festival 2026 was a jam packed month of community collaboration with local organisations hosting walks, activities and events during the month of May.
