At Wee Binnian Walkers we’re known for friendliness and hospitality and we like to finish off our days on the hills with a get-together whether that be in a local pub and/or coffee shop. Running alongside this element of sociability is an active events programme which sees an annual walking festival, standalone social events and trips. Check links below, for further information and details.
Wee Binnian Walking Festival
As part of the Newry 850 celebrations, in 1994, the first Wee Binnian walking festival took place. Every year since, on the second weekend in September, the club has run this very successful event. The festival offers a variety of graded walks to suit all abilities with the social highlight of weekend being the popular ‘Blister Boogie’.
This year’s Wee Binnian Walking Festival will be held from Friday 12th to Sunday 14th September 2025, based in Warrenpoint Co Down.
Social Events
The Club’s Christmas ‘get together’, after one of our winter walks, is a very popular event. In June 2023 and 2024 we had a delightful summer barbeque and plans are in place to do it again in June 2025.
Trips
In addition to Sunday walks the club organises two weekends away, each year, to other parts of Ireland, Scotland, England or Wales. We also run occaisonal special trips further afield to hillwalking areas of Spain and Italy.
