The Nightingale Centre Management Committee are excited to announce its Winter Walking Weekends in January 2026. The weekends provide a relaxing, community of people who enjoy the weekend experience together. If you would like to join us at one (or both!) of the weekends, we would be delighted to see you and your friends and family.

There will be 2 weekends in 2026:

• Friday 9th - Sunday 11th January
  
• Friday 16th - Sunday 18th January
  

Winter Walking Weekend 1

The first weekend (9th – 11th) offers the opportunity for easy and medium difficulty walks and a full programme of evening activities including games, songs, parachute games, a barn dance and evening quiz for adults and families with younger children (up to 11).

Winter Walking Weekend 2

The second weekend (16th – 18th) offers the opportunity for medium and more difficult walks along with an evening quiz. There is an honesty bar selling wines, a variety of beers and soft drinks. This weekend is suitable for adults and children over 12 as we do not provide activities for younger children.
Please note that you are welcome to attend either weekend, regardless of the age of your children, but that there will not be any organised activities for younger children on Weekend 2.

All walks on both weekends will be led by experienced walkers, but please note that adults and parents must take responsibility for the health and safety of their party on the walks.

Both weekends will be hosted by Cathie Masztalerz and she will organise both programmes and be there to ensure that the weekends run smoothly and, most importantly, that they are enjoyable, fulfilling and fun!!
