Thanks to... our sponsors

East Lothian Walking Festival is committed to offering a diverse programme of walks and events that are accessible to as many people as possible. Keeping the majority of our activities free of charge helps remove financial barriers and encourages people of all ages and abilities to discover the many benefits of walking.

Delivering a festival of this scale is only possible thanks to the generous support of organisations that share our vision of improving health and wellbeing, encouraging people to enjoy the outdoors, and connecting communities.

We are extremely grateful to our sponsors and supporters, including:

CWP Energy (was Community Windpower) whose support enables us to provide transport for selected festival events, making more walks accessible to a wider range of participants.

North Berwick Trust which funds the cost of walk leaders for walks in and around the town of North Berwick, helping us deliver a varied and high-quality local programme.

Scottish Forestry which supports walks and events that encourage people to explore, enjoy and learn about East Lothian’s woodlands.

East Lothian Council which provides funding through its Active Travel Strategy, recognising the important role walking plays in improving health, wellbeing and opportunities for people to be active outdoors.

We sincerely thank all of our sponsors and supporters for helping make the East Lothian Walking Festival possible. Their investment enables hundreds of people each year to experience the physical, mental and social benefits of walking while discovering the beautiful landscapes, wildlife and heritage of East Lothian.
