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:
We can start with a look at the waterfront with its iconic Lifeboat Horse sculpture as the tide goes out, before we wander along the quay towards Tugboat Yard, taking in the sights as we go.
We'll have the sun over our backs doing that, with hopefully all the light we need to show off the scene on lovely Kodak Ultramax.
Unless that rains, obviously. In which case, we'll mainly be doing pictures of what Wells looks like during a mild spell of early-summer precipitation sparked by a low-pressure North Sea weather system.
CHIP TIME - MIND THEM GULLS..
That'll probably be well getting on for lunch by the time we've done all that, so if tums and rumbling it might be time for that much-loved Wells ritual of chips by the harbour.
Two rival outlets nestle side-by-side beside the quay. So will it be French's - or Plattens..?
Just mind the seagulls, which like their chips too. But hold you on there. For while some are stuffed so full of the nation's staple fried potato snack they can barely fly, there's a picture to be had - if they don't have your fingers first.
We can then have a wander up Staithe Street, with its colourful array of independent shops for a nose and a bit of street photography before we finish off back at the starting point to hand in our films.
CAMERAS AND STUFF
The great thing about seaside towns is you can get some great pictures on whatever you've got, so get set to fill your boots whether you're armed with a point-and-shoot or a classy SLR set-up with a lens or three.
And the great thing about shooting Wells is the light's with you all the way shooting the harbour from late morning until the middle of the afternoon, by which time you'll probably have either got bored of me and cleared off or found a pub to hide in.
I wouldn't bother with a tripod, as it can get quite busy around the quayside. Plus on a 400 film, you probably won't need one in any case.
CLOTHES AND STUFF
I suggest you wear strong shoes or boots along with thick socks as we'll be on our toes for quite a bit.
A bottle of water would also be a good idea, along with sun cream just in case that gets out sunny and maybe a hat which will also help to keep the rain off your loaf if that doesn't.
Bring change because not all car parks accept cards and phone signal can be poor up on the Norfolk coast, so you may not be able to pay that way either.
Not sure about service animals as it's by a harbour.
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.
