18:00 Food Truck Friday at the Tobacco Factory (Joint Social Event)

Event Date: Fri 7 August 2026
Event Time: 18:00

Lots of us had a fab time at the Tobacco Factory's Food Truck Friday event in May so I thought I'd put it on the calendar again...

As well as the usual Tobacco Factory cafe and bar, there are usually 3 pop-ups food trucks and a pop-up brewery on site (the specific options have not yet been posted on the Tobacco Factory website)

Seating will be outside at picnic tables unless it's rainy when we can move inside. Dress for the weather and, even if sunny, bring something warm to put on after the sun goes down.

There will be a couple of DJs setting the ambience. Zero pressure to dance but the opportunity will be there if you fancy.

The food trucks and DJs are on from 6 to 10pm but the Tobacco Factory is open all day through to midnight so arrive as early or as late as you want. No need to book. I'll be there from 6pm and will aim to secure us a table outside. Look for the Brunel Walking Group sign.

Non-members welcome at all our socials. Come and find out more about us.

See you there!

How do I join the walk?

Unless stated on the walk page, there is no need to sign up to join a walk. You’re very welcome to try out 1 or 2 walks before you join, but we do insist that after that you join the Brunel Walking Group.

On many walks you can just turn up at the meeting point where we will share lifts to the start of the walk. It’s OK if you don’t drive – we normally have enough drivers who are able to give lifts. Some walks you will need to make your way to walk start or you can post on our facebook group to ask if you can share a lift there. 

If sharing lifts passengers are expected to contribute towards petrol costs. Please bring coins or be prepared to make a bank transfer. As a guide, 30p/mile shared by everyone in the car. 

How do I know what to bring? And am I fit enough?

We provide a full recommended kit list here.  Please do bring water, a rainproof jacket, walking trousers (or similar) and walking shoes/boots – avoid jeans and trainers.

Walks are graded as either 1 boot, 2 boot or 3 boot.  Read more about choosing the right walk for your fitness level here,
