My Walk to School

Working in partnership with the local primary schools, pupils will create an illustrated map of their walk to school. There will be a display of maps the children create at the Springfield Community Campus during the festival week.

This ia not a bookable event.

Walk of Discovery

Throughout Saturday and Sunday, we have our FAMILY FRIENDLY and FREE WALK OF DISCOVERY around Corsham. Although anyone can take part, the walk is aimed at primary school age children. Maps, clues, and answer sheets will be available from the Springfield Community Campus from 09.00 each day. Find your own route and walk when it suits you.
