About the event
The Forest Hill Society will be organising the very first FOREST HILL WALKING FESTIVAL on June 9th, 2024.
The Festival will showcase a series of local walks around the local area, each with a different theme, so that you can explore places and views you may not already know about, and meet other local residents and visitors while exploring our corner of London.
