Join us for a walk, a chat and a brew


Royston Health Walks

Royston Health Walks is an independent and volunteer-led social walking group. We are a very friendly and welcoming group that prides itself on being non-cliquey and positively inclusive. Anyone and everyone is welcome to join us regardless of age, level of fitness and in principle state of health, even if it’s only for the refreshments. Our walks are free, you only pay for your brew. We also run a number of events during the year and promote and raise funds for good causes.

Social walking

Every Wednesday morning at 10am we have 2 walks, a leisurely walk over Therfield Heath covering about 1½ miles (with some inclines) and a slow/flat walk. Both are opportunities to get a bit of exercise, have a chat and meet new people. The groups come together at the Café for a brew around 11am, please feel free to join us even if it’s just for the brew.

Wednesday afternoons we have a more challenging walk (a little bit longer about 2 miles) as well as a
leisurely walk. From May to September the start time for both is 5pm but changes to 2pm for the rest of the year. We end up at the Café together for a brew.

Children and dogs (on or off-lead) are very welcome.

Our slow/flat walk is suitable for mobility scooters.

Around Easter time we have a Pasqueflower walk.

Events

We have 3 events each year, a Spring lunch, a
Summer barbeque and a Christmas lunch. All of them take place at the Heath Café.

The Spring lunch (usually late May) is preceded by a walk around Therfield Heath after which we come back to the Café for our lunch. We promote and support a worthy cause mainly via a raffle. Existing walkers and their guests and everyone on our email list is invited.

The Summer event at the Heath Café is open to
anyone and everyone but they do need to book. There will be walks and a barbeque at least but the full agenda will be decided nearer the time. It usually takes place in September. We raise funds for a worthy cause but this time via donation and merchandise sales.

Our Christmas lunch takes place mid-December
and raises funds for Royston Health Walks. It is open to everyone (walkers, guests and people on our email list).
