Still Walking is a social enterprise business incorporated as a Community Interest Company in 2015. Our aim is to bring a creative approach to guided tours and walking events in Birmingham and in cities and countries further afield. Our events are aimed at the walking community which may be comprised of curious citizens, visitors to the city, urban explorers, people seeking active social events, researchers, students, artists and a variety of creative participants. Our community is united by a desire to extend awareness of our environments, consider new outlooks and approaches, encounter new locations and to grow closer to our city in order to enhance our health and our sense of wellbeing. Our bold and brassy motto is: ‘you need to get out more’.

We have staged a dozen programmes of walking events since 2012, bringing over a hundred new guided tours and walking events to Birmingham’s walking community, and working with over seventy different guides from all walks of life. Most of these have been co-created and supported by the SW team.

The festivals are merely the most visible aspect of the whole Still Walking experience. There’s a lot of activity behind the scenes: undertaking research, forging partnerships, supporting the new guides and advising on walking activity around the country.
