Let’s go for a wander

To mark the beginning of this year’s Wild Goose Festival: Journey with the Wild Geese Movement Challenge, we’re starting with something very simple.

A wander.

We’d love to invite anyone and everyone to join us for a relaxed wander through town – a chance to stretch your legs, meet a few new people, and take a moment out of your day.

No pressure.
No agenda.

Just people going for a walk together.

We’ll meet at Fountain Square outside The Stove Café, before heading on an easy route through Dock Park, down towards the Kirkpatrick Macmillan Bridge, across to the Suspension Bridge, and back to Fountain Square.

You can join for the whole journey, or just part of it. Walk, wheel, wander – go at your own pace.

And to sweeten the journey, we’ll have some ice creams waiting.

Everyone is welcome – friends, families, colleagues, neighbours, and anyone who simply fancies getting out for a walk.
