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 is 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. All primary school age children who take part and return their answers by 16.30 on Sunday 14th will receive a badge and certificate.

First Aid Confidence Course – FREE

On Saturday 13th we have St John Ambulance providing hand on demonstrations to help you deal with a first aid emergency. Refresh your CPR, use a defibrillator and understand how best to deal with other issues.
