We've got a very exciting announcement to make this evening!

As of 2025, Dartmoor Walking Festival is now going to be the Dartmoor Outdoor Festival!

This change has come about as a result of our desire to take this Festival beyond just walking to showcase the best of what Dartmoor has to offer!

We're busy putting together a fantastic programme that includes workshops, climbing, live music, film showings, family friendly events (including our very own Festival letterbox trail!) and of course, plenty of walks!

Princetown will be the hub of the festival but rest assured, there will be opportunities across all 368 square miles of the moors to get involved with!

Watch this space for more details, including our brand new website, and we can't wait to tell you more about it in the coming weeks and months!
