The Dorset Mind Big Walk comes to Bournemouth on 27 September 2026, a fundraising walking event in aid of the county’s mental health charity, Dorset Mind. It brings supporters together for a shared day on foot, combining gentle exercise and good company with the chance to raise money and awareness for a worthwhile cause.
What to expect
Charity walks like this are welcoming to all abilities, with people taking part solo, in groups or as families, often gathering sponsorship from friends and colleagues beforehand. The emphasis is on getting involved and enjoying the walk rather than on pace, making it a relaxed and rewarding way to support mental health services in Dorset. Bournemouth’s seafront, gardens and green spaces make an attractive backdrop for a day like this.
Planning your visit
Bournemouth is easy to reach by car, bus or train, with the town centre, seafront and parks all close together. As the route, start point, timings and any registration or sponsorship details are set by the charity, check the official Dorset Mind listing for the latest information on how to sign up and take part before the day.
