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:
Walk starts at Tuckton Tea Gardens by Tuckton Bridge - refreshments and public toilets nearby. Parking is available on the road and in the car park (please give yourself extra time to park)
Local buses/train: Bus company More 1b & 1c stop at Tuckton Bridge from both directions.
Nearest railway station is Christchurch which is a 15 min walk to Tuckton or catch the 1b bus on Stour Road towards Bournemouth.
We will follow the River Stour having great views of Christchurch and the Priory. We follow the path onto Wick Meads (Marsh) and walk through and over the boardwalks of reedbeds and native hedgerows. We can make a stop at the bird watching platform overlooking Christchurch harbour. Before reaching Hengistbury Head visitors' centre we can walk down to a quiet spot at the water's edge (tide permitting). Reaching the visitors' centre we can enjoy the nature garden and local history dating back to the iron age. The centre is FREE to enter. From here you can walk to the top of Hengistbury Head with great views over to the Isle of Wight, Christchurch, Isle of Purbeck and back towards Bournemouth along the 7 mile beach. Alternatively, staying at sea level you can walk the sand dunes and go onto the beach. You will have time (about an hour) to explore this on your own before meeting me back at the visitors' centre to hand me back your roll of film. Hengistbury Head has a cafe and toilets. You can take the Beach Breezer 70 open top bus back from here to Tuckton.
All dog friendly. A road option is possible from Wick Meads if needed. Paths are mainly gravel but well kept and swing gates are on the route.
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.
