A beautiful walk on the edge of the Peak District, followed by a Christmas wreath workshop and festive tipple! To celebrate the festive period, Peak Outdoor Community has teamed up with Make More Magic for the third year in a row for a Christmas Walk and Festive Wreath Workshop!

We have one short uphill section and some stiles. Ascent: 50m Who will be your guide? I'm Emily, founder of Peak Outdoor Community, and a qualified Mountain Leader based in Glossop on the edge of the Dark Peak. I've loved being outdoors since I was young, but hiking became a real passion in 2019 when I started exploring solo. Those adventures completely changed my life and inspired me to create Peak Outdoor Community to help other women discover the confidence, friendship and joy that comes from spending time outdoors. Every walk is relaxed, welcoming and packed with stories about the history, geology and wildlife that make the Peak District such a special place. 🌿 Website: Peak Outdoor Community 📱 Instagram & Facebook: @peakoutdoorcommunity Who will be delivering the wreath workshop?
