Guided Walks in the Peak District, Multiple August Dates, Peak District.

Covering varying distances and difficulties, from 5 miles to 10 miles and taking in all the different scenery with some challenging climbs - there are currently 6 different routes to take on. No need to worry about getting lost, or where to park, or what that big thing is in the distance over there - your guide takes care of all of that. £10 for adults and under 18s go free, multiple dates across August.

Luminarium - Architects of Air, 14/08 - 16/08, Hanley Park. An interactive, inflatable labyrinth of light and sound pops up in Hanley Park to kick off The Big Feast festival.
