The Mole Valley Spring Walking Festival runs from Wednesday, 29 April to Wednesday, 6 May 2026. Organised by the Mole Valley Ramblers, the event features a programme of free guided walks across the Surrey Hills and surrounding areas, including Box Hill, Leith Hill, and the River Mole. The schedule includes various distances and difficulty levels, ranging from short three-mile circuits to day-long treks covering up to 18 miles.
This year’s itinerary includes several themed routes and social walks. Options include the “Westhumble Express” railway heritage walk, a “May the Fourth Be With You” bank holiday hike, and specific sessions focused on identifying birdsong and bluebells. Several routes are planned to finish at local pubs or cafes, and the programme also features evening excursions, such as a night walk at Leith Hill.
Most walks do not require advance booking, though participants are advised to arrive at start points 15 minutes before the scheduled departure. The festival finishes on the final Wednesday with a tea and cake social. Information regarding start locations, parking, and specific route requirements is available here.
We chat with Sally Howes from the Mole Valley Ramblers about the event.
