Trefriw Walking Festival is a not-for profit venture
Staging a major three-day walking festival is an expensive undertaking. Although virtually everything is done by volunteers, each year we have costs that include:
Minibus hire and fuel
Hiring the Village Hall for 3 days
Professional equipment hire
Mountain Leaders fees for some mountain walks
First aid courses for all our walk leaders
Web site hosting
Publicity and leaflets
Insurance.
So since 2026 we request a modest – by general walking festival standards – charge for our walks: £12 for a full-day’s walk, and £7 for a half-day walk. These include a non-refundable booking fee to cover our online transaction costs.
Donations are still gratefully received and can be added when you purchase a ticket. We also encourage a small donation for refreshments provided at the village hall.
We are, nevertheless immensely grateful to the following, who enable us to keep the event going from one year to the next:
- our volunteer walk leaders, who always give so generously of their time
- our other volunteers, who help out at the event
- our organising committee, busy throughout much of the year
- our sponsors (see our sponsors page)
In 2017 we were also awarded a small grant from the SportWales Community Chest, which has paid our training costs and also enabled us to purchase some equipment (such as first aid kits, maps, ladies’ rucksacks and navigation equipment).
A HUGE THANK YOU TO YOU ALL!
