Bringing people together is at the heart of what we do at Walkers & Talkers. With a mission to get people talking again, founder Andy Brassington launched the initiative two years ago to address the social isolation he witnessed in the Bristol community after Covid-19.

What started out as a weekly walk has flourished into a social staple for our ever-expanding group. We meet every Wednesday morning for a wander, plenty of conversation and a complimentary cuppa, and we’re grateful to be able to host several local celebrities to share their inspirational stories with the group. From footballing legend Bobby Gould to Lord-Lieutenant of Bristol, Peaches Golding, the unique experiences and insights of every guest speaker sparks thought-provoking conversation and leaves a lasting impression on our community.

Nearly two years since our first gathering, we’re still welcoming speakers and friends from all walks of life, and having a safe space to share the highs and lows of their week has become a lifeline for many of our now 200 members (and counting!).

We’re thrilled to be celebrating our second anniversary by doing what we do best. Join us for our sponsored walk on Wednesday 10th April 2024 and please support us in any way you can. Big or small, your donation will go towards keeping Walkers & Talkers a free event for our community to enjoy, whilst supporting our exciting plans to develop our initiative and launch in more areas in the future.
