Talk:Walking day

Correction
This article is mixing 'Church Walks of Faith' with 'local village Carnivals'. A church walk is undertaken by it's congregation. There is no 'fair'. Just a walk.

Christian churches all over the world have an annual 'Walk of Faith', and have done for hundreds and hundreds of years. Not only in North West England either, all over England.

Again, Wikipedia gets filled with trash and nobody removes it because they know no different! 92.239.90.145 (talk) 21:39, 26 June 2011 (UTC)


 * I don't concur with the tone, or all of the content, of this contribution, but it has some substance. From my memory, 'Walking Day' was known formally as the Procession of Witness, and was definitely a religious event (although it involved wearing your best, maybe new, clothes, brass bands, banners, etc.). Manchester Walking Day was big as well as Warrington (which was on a Friday and a local holiday). I grew up between Manchester and Warrington, and Walking Day took place on a Sunday and was a smaller event, but quite an event.
 * I don't think there was any connection with May Queens. Walking Day was related to Whitsun. A field day was something quite different and secular, a bit like school sports day but more fun. This article is a bit of a ragbag, but it's a start. Snugglepuss (talk) 18:59, 8 September 2023 (UTC)

Article cleaning up + sourcing needed
This article, although well written, needs to be formatted and sourced in the wiki style. --Russell&#39;s teapot (talk) 19:31, 3 August 2018 (UTC)
