The 2025 Festival runs from 19th to 28th September 2025

Farewell to another successful 2024 Festival. Thank you to all our participants, speakers, supporters, sponsors, advertisers and not least our volunteers. Make sure you put the dates for next year in your diaries and join us for our 20th celebrations.

What people said about previous festivals: "I enjoyed the walking groups which were well organised and the pre-walk information was excellent"; "The range of walks was very good"; "The talks were brilliant"; "The beautiful town of Richmond! Stimulating talks and the opportunity to talk to authors". 100% of the people who responded to our survey in 2023 said they would recommend the Festival to a friend.

If you would like to support the Festival, and get early access to our tickets next year please consider becoming a Friend of the Festival. You can join by following this link.

Once again we would not be able to put on the Festival without the help of our many supporters and our thanks go to: Richmond Town Council, Purple Creative, Altberg, Millgate House, the Burgoyne, Swaledale Outdoor Club, CRACCL, The Station and the many other sponsors, accommodation providers and advertisers. And of course many thanks to our wonderful volunteers who lead the walks programme and support the book events.

We hope to see you next September.
