Dementia Support Line
Bristol Memory Walk
The challenge
Share advice, laughter, and support at Bristol Memory Walk. And when you cross the finish line, celebrate with your medal, knowing you have walked for a world where dementia no longer devastates lives.
Key Information
Meeting Point
Bristol Memory Walk will start and finish at the event site in Lloyd's Amphitheatre. Please note, this area is paved.
Find us using the postcode BS1 5LL, or alternatively enter ///volume.skin.suffice into the What3Words App.
We recommend that anyone participating in Memory Walk arrives at the event site from 10am. This allows time to take part in the pre-walk activities such as the Zumba warm-up and also allows time for possible delays caused by traffic and public transport.
Route
To make sure everyone's included, there are two routes to choose from on the day of Memory Walk.
A shorter 2km route is wheelchair accessible and suitable for all ages and abilities.
The longer 5km route takes you around Bristol’s historic harbourside, enjoying views of the S.S. Great Britain and Cumberland Basin. It is more challenging and not suitable for pushchairs or wheelchairs due to the nature of the pathways, and some uneven terrain throughout the route.
Travel Information
Please consider the most sustainable method of transport, such as public transport or car sharing, where possible.

- Dogs allowed
- Toilets

The meeting point is on level, paved ground. Both routes are on pavement and the short route is suitable for wheelchairs and pushchairs with assistance. The long route has uneven and cobbled pathways. There is no dedicated accessible parking.
