Most of our events will be posted on Eventbrite and will appear here on our website “Events” page. Please click the link to visit Eventbrite where you will be able to find all of the information about the event. Then click the “Reserve a spot” button to book your place – you will just need to enter your name and email address.

Our events are free. You may need to buy a bus ticket or train ticket to reach them. If you cannot afford this, please do get in contact with us at info@peakdistrictmosaic.org

This varies a lot! Some of our evening walks will last a couple of hours and stay on the flat. Some of our more adventurous walks may take six hours and include a significant amount of walking uphill. All our event descriptions on Eventbrite will include this information. If you have a specific question about how accessible the walks are, please email info@peakdistrictmosaic.org

We always consider how you can travel to the event easily. Often the start point is on a bus route or near a train station. In some instances, we will provide a free minibus to transport people to an event when it is a long way from public transport and we have funding for this. Information about travel for each event will be on Eventbrite.

We recommend you come prepared, depending on the weather.

Yes. You need to declare health conditions that will impact on your ability to participate in a walk. If so, you would need to explain what you need us to do if you became ill. Peak District Mosaic reserve the right to refuse you attending a walk if it is felt you would be at risk – depending on the nature of the walk.

Yes. You should carry with you all the medication you would need to take during the time you would spend taking part in a walk or activity.

You are advised to carry a small First Aid Kit with basic items such as bandages, plasters and antiseptic cream.

Peak District Mosaic reserve the right to refuse you attending a walk if it is felt that:

– you are putting yourself at risk if you do not have the appropriate clothing/footwear/supplies for the weather conditions.
– the walk was not suitable for you eg: steep inclines and rough terrain would not be suitable for wheelchair users.

We occasionally run training – and hope to so in the future as part of our “Championing National Parks for Everyone” project. To keep in touch, sign-up for our newsletter.

You can find out more about the Peak District National Park on their website (https://www.peakdistrict.gov.uk/home). This website has lots of information about the Peak District National Park. There are lots of opportunities to get involved with volunteering, opportunities to go on guided walks with Rangers and opportunities to work for the Peak District National Park.

Our volunteer walk leaders are essential to ensure that we can run safe and fun events. If you feel you have the skills to help with this (or want to learn these skills), then please visit our “Get involved and volunteering” page. You can come to one of our events and speak to one of the team of volunteer walk leaders to find out more about what the role is like.
