On 21 June, come along to a festival-themed walk around the heart of Bury St Edmunds.
Walk to the beat and together, share music, memories and incredible stories.
Choose a 10km or 15km route around Bury St Edmunds
The walk starts and ends in the Abbey Gardens, where you will find food and drink, stalls, merchandise and a selfie area. Make sure to get there early to soak up the atmosphere and take some great pics!
Both routes set off at 6pm, after music and a warm-up.
