About the event

A Walk in the Park is a programme of easily accessible walks for all ages running monthly in Luton (every first Wednesday of the month).

A Walk in the Park provides an opportunity to:

  • Boost your health and well-being whilst taking a short walk around a natural space and practice some mindfulness in nature.
  • Explore green spaces in Luton.
  • Meet like-minded people and make new friends.

Learn about the natural world and opportunity to share your own knowledge or experiences.

The aim of the programme is to encourage exploration of scenic parks and green spaces right on your doorstep, at the heart of Luton.
The walks will be led by staff of Wildlife Trust Bedfordshire and volunteers.

All ages welcome!

Join us for a walk through Leagrave Park, with the opportunity to discover more about the newly established Luton Henge!

We’ll meet at 2:00pm in the car park in front of Marsh House Community Centre before setting off on a gentle circular walk. Along the way, we’ll enjoy views of Luton Henge, the earthworks of Waulud’s Bank, and visit the springs that source the River Lea.
