Each year the Nidderdale AONB team, with the support of local experts, organise a programme of events focusing on the special qualities of the area.  

 

This years programme runs from April to October and there is a wide range of events including dry stone walling, guided walks, geocaching and moorland safaris. There really is something for everyone to enjoy!

 

Details fo all the events can be found over the next few pages so why not take a look and book your places now.

---

Some events must be pre-booked and pre-paid to guarantee your place.

 

For all other events booking is not essential but it is recommend as places are limited.  Your safety and enjoyment are very important to us and we therefore have to adhere to guidelines on group numbers. Unfortunately this means that we will allocate places on a first come, first served basis and there may be times when we have to turn people away, but please respect the decision of the walk leader .

 

To book please complete and return our events booking form.

 

 

Walk leaders can only accept participants who are appropriately prepared for the conditions so please come dressed/equipped accordingly for the event you are attending and the weather conditions.

n.b. The weather can be very different higher up the Dale to on lower ground. 

For all events we recommend:

We recommend that you bring plenty to drink and a snack on all events. If a packed lunch is required this will be stated in the event description.

 

Children are welcome on all events unless stated otherwise but under 16's must be accompanied by an adult at all times.

 

Dogs are not permitted unless stated otherwise. Where dogs are permitted they must be well behaved, kept on a short lead at all times and be fit enough to negotiate stiles and steep climbs.

 

Many of the events, in particular guided walks and Hackfall events, are in remote locations where there are no toilet facilities.

 

The AONB supports sustainable modes of transport and a number of our events are accessible by public transport. Public transport users can attend events for free on production of a valid ticket. Timetables and further information on public transport can be found at www.traveline.org.uk or by ringing 0871 200 22 33.

 

Whilst care has been taken to organise these events there are sometimes circumstances beyond our control that will lead to the cancellation of an event. We will make every effort to contact those attendees that have booked with as much notice as possible. We also recommend that you contact the AONB office prior to an event to check it is still going ahead. Those attending should be aware that bad weather might cause events to be cancelled or postponed. We reserve the right to postpone or cancel any events.
