About Walden Weekly

I started Walden Weekly because, honestly… I was fed up of not knowing what was going on.

When I became a first-time mum to my little girl, I was completely thrown. I’d moved into this new season of life and suddenly felt lonely, out of my depth, and constantly Googling toddler groups and family activities in Saffron Walden at 2am. And even living in Saffron Walden and the surrounding villages, it was surprisingly hard to find local events and things to do all in one place.

So I thought — fine. I’ll fix it.

Walden Weekly is here to make local life easier. It’s a simple, friendly guide to what’s happening in and around Saffron Walden — from toddler groups and family-friendly activities to community events and hidden gems in the surrounding villages.

Whether you’re a parent, grandparent, carer or just someone looking for things to do in Saffron Walden, this is your shortcut. Less scrolling, more doing. Less guessing, more getting out the house.

If it helps even one other parent feel a little less overwhelmed and a little more connected, it’s done its job.

And if you’d like a little nudge when new events, toddler groups or local updates are added, you can sign up to the Walden Weekly newsletter below. No spam. Just the good stuff.
