What We Offer
Nordic walking community programmes and events 2026
Nordic walking groups for Arabic-speaking and Somali Women
In partnership with Sadaga and the Bristol Somali Resource Centre, we are developing a Nordic walking programme specifically for Arabic-speaking and Somali women. This project has been made possible thanks to funding from the National Lottery Community Fund.
We have already begun training women from Sadaga and the Bristol Somali Resource Centre to become Nordic walking instructors, and they will go on to lead a series of Learn to Nordic Walk courses for women connected to these organisations. The funding will also enable us to organise scenic countryside walks around Bristol, as well as social events for all women who are part of our Nordic walking community.
If you are interested in joining the programme please contact:

Failand 5km Scenic Nordic Walk: Saturday 31st October 10am-12.30pm
Failand is a rural area just outside Bristol city centre. Our route will go through some lovely countryside with far reaching views towards Wales. You can expect field paths, tracks, woods, and quiet country lanes. There is one short uphill section so it is best suited to confident walkers.
We have hired the village hall, so please bring sandwiches/something to eat for afterwards. We will be providing tea/coffee and cold drinks. Toilet facilities are available.
If you’ve not got your own transport please contact us and we will try to arrange lifts. The X6 bus from Bristol city centre also stops near our meeting point.
Cost £4. Please Book here, places are limited.
