Sunday 13 October 2024: The Wokingham Walk
Our next Wokingham Autumn Walk will be on 13 October. As before it will give walkers the option of a 5 mile, 10 mile or 15 mile walk through beautiful countryside around Wolkingham.
For those who have not taken part before, the walk starts from Elms Field, near Aldi. You can choose to walk either the 5, 10 or 15 mile route. You can use the walk to connect with family and friends, as part of a fitness plan, as preparation for a future challenge or to raise money for a good cause of your choice.
Wokingham Walk Organiser, Andy Slay said “I’m delighted that this event has been so well received by the town and both the spring and autumn Wokingham Walks are now firm fixtures in Wokingham’s Calendar. Local charities also increasingly use the event to fundraise by sponsorship, something that we always wanted to happen from the event’s inception.”
Funds raised from the entry fees are distributed by Wokingham Lions Club to local charities and good causes. Places can be booked in advance by visiting www.wokinghamwalk.co.uk. The entrance fee remains at £15 for adults and £5 for children aged 12-17, under 12s go free. On the day entry is also available at the starting point on Elm’s Field from 9:00am to 10:30am.

Saturday 2 November 2024: Wokingham Firework Spectacular
We are part of a consortium that runs the annual Wokingham Fireworks Spectacular.
It starts with a torchlight procession from the town centre to the event field in Cantley Park. The procession leaves at 6:15pm, and the sight of 500 flaming torches is one to behold!
We suggest that you should park in one of the town centre car parks and join the procession
When the procession arrives at Cantley there will be a funfair and food vendors to keep you entertained until the fireworks start at 7:30pm. Those who don’t want to join the procession can go directly to Cantley, where the funfair opens at 5:30pm.
Tickets go on sale from 16 September. For more details, and to buy tickets, click here
Funds raised from the event are distributed to charities nominated by each of the participating clubs. This year’s main beneficiaries are:
