MK Dads Club · Events
No agenda. No pressure. Just fresh air and a good chat.
Being a dad can feel lonely. It does not have to. We meet up, we walk, we chat, or stay quiet if that is what you need. Whatever is going on, you are welcome to just turn up.
Upcoming Walks
Come and walk with us
Dates are still being sorted, so take these as a taste of what is coming. Most walks are at Willen Lake, with flat paths, an easy pace and prams and little ones welcome. Just turn up as you are, even if you do not know anyone yet.
MONTHLY · TBC
Saturday Morning Loop
Willen Lake, Milton Keynes
A gentle lap of the lake to start the weekend. Grab a coffee, stretch your legs and walk with other dads who understand. Children and prams are very welcome.
Weekday Evening · TBC
Sunset Wind Down Walk
Willen Lake, Milton Keynes
Had a long week? Come and walk it off. A steady evening stroll as the light fades, with space to breathe and talk if you would like to.
Dates and times are shared as soon as they are confirmed. Just come and find us. You do not need to sign up, book or explain yourself.
