Walks and Talks 2025
For our subject specific walks we restrict numbers to provide an enjoyable event and you need to reserve your place. Links to book on Eventbrite are sent out every 3 months initially to our members. You can sign up to be a member here on this website. If there is availability, then we open the event to non-members.
You do not need to book for our Introductory Walks, which we run each month, but it is advised. Please reserve a place on Eventbrite, either using the links below or by searching for Friends of Bushy and Home Park.
Any queries should be sent to by email to events.fbhp@gmail.com
