Dads walking together along a lakeside path at Willen Lake

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.
