It's back again for 2026, welcome to the Biggest Concurrent UK Film Photowalk of the year!
With multiple locations around the country, our plan is that everyone will be within a reasonable distance from a photowalk that suits them 🤩 You can read about 2025's Big Film Photowalk Competition winner here: Big Film Photowalk 2025 Competition Winner
Organised in partnership with Kodak 🎞️
What you will see with this ticket:
Starting at the colourful beach huts our walk will take in the sea views from Amble South Pier with it light, overlooking Coquet island. We'll then head to the quayside with its fish markets and onto the marina and Coquet Yacht club. Leaving Amble we'll follow the River Coquet up Beal bank, passing several bird themed sculptures on the Amble Sculpture trail.
At the top of Beal bank we'll walk around the outside of Warkworth Castle (you couldn't do a photowalk in Northumberland without a castle!) And then drop down to the Medieval bridge where we'll finish the walk, although I would encourage everyone to gather in the Masons Arms afterwards for a friendly debrief.
The walk will be mainly on paved paths, although some parts use grass paths, there are some cobbles in Warkworth at the bridge , and Amble Pier is wooden slats. However there are alternative routes that bypass all of these if they are an issue. There is a short climb up to Warkworth as the castle sits on high ground, and then down again to the bridge.
On sunny days this area can get quite popular so there may be some crowds, but mainly around Amble quayside and in Warkworth centre.
Amble is served by the X18 bus route which runs from Newcastle to Berwick. It also stops in Warkworth for those who want to bus back to the start. My intention is to park at the end and walk to the start and I would be happy to give anyone a lift back to Amble. There are several car parks in Amble near the start.
Alternative routes on pavements are available to bypass any non paved paths. It is all outside, and freely accessible so service animals are welcome.
Ticket Options:
Due to the success of last year, we have created not one, not two but three options for tickets this year, so that people who don't shoot colour/35mm film - or who want to develop their film at home or with another lab - can still join the Walk and share the love of film together!

*Please note that these will be handed out by Photowalk Leaders at the start of the event and NOT sent out in advance
**Important notes on the included Film Processing package
The included development and scanning only applies if you hand the roll of film back to your Photowalk leader at the end of the event, for consolidated sending back to our lab. We expect you to have finished one roll of film during the walk, and probably be halfway through the second!
If you haven't finished your first roll of film at the end of the walk - or you want to send in extra rolls of film - then please place a separate processing order through our lab at your earliest convenience.
The development will be: Colour 35mm, Standard Scans, Correct and Rotate editing package. If you wish for different options for your film please talk to the lab after the event and they'll be happy to arrange, and charge for any difference.
You will have the opportunity to order prints from your film after seeing the scans - this service is not included in the development package.
†A Black Colour camera will be provided, though this is dependant on stocks and colours may vary on the day.
Competition
We will run a competition - judged by our partners - for the best film photo taken on the day 🏆 So please bring your creative minds and favourite cameras for a chance to win serious goodies.
