Wild Wander Walk Programme (Links with Nature)

Join us for Wild Wanders, a regular programme of walks taking place every second Sunday and every fourth Friday of the month. Reflect and reconnect with nature by joining us on Wild Wanders. Learn about local heritage, nature and wildlife and spend time outdoors socialising whilst becoming more active.

Below is our programme of walks. Each Walk will have its own tickets available to book onto, so come to as many as you like! Our Wild Wanders are aimed at those within the Coalfield area. Our location is listed on Eventbrite at To Be Announced, this is because the locations of our walks vary. Please refer to our Wild Wander Walk Programme for locations and walk details before booking. Booking via Eventbrite is essential to attend!

More information about Helix Arts – Here to There Walks: Here To There is an exciting programme of cultural experiences and events for people 55+, including wellbeing walks, visits to museums, theatres, dance performances, and buildings and places with interesting histories. In the bustle of the city or the quiet of a park, participants are encouraged to look at life from a different perspective and maybe have a try at something new!

Sessions are about getting involved, having a go; connecting through creativity to promote physical and mental health. You can stay local or visit sessions in other areas, with materials and refreshments provided, and entry is free. There’s nothing to lose!
