About the Event
From their latest newsletter (19th August 2026):
ChaseEscape Walking Festival 2026: 16–27 September
We are delighted to offer a wide range of events and activities at the ChaseEscape Walking Festival!
From history to ecology and conservation, we hope you’ll find a walk of interest – or just join us for a social ramble.
This year we are pleased to be working again in partnership with Dorset Visual Arts on a range of FREE ‘walking workshops’. Each session invites different approaches and the chance to try a variety of materials to explore the unique landscape of Cranborne Chase. Sessions vary in distance and all involve exploration and discovery of the ecology, history and other stories of Cranborne Chase.
All events have limited capacity, so we would politely ask that you only book on one or two events, so that as many people as possible can take part.
