These are Hillsborough Royal Brew Experience, Hidden Huntley Walking and Artisan Food Experience, Threads & Breads and Wonderwalk. How did these wonderful walking and food experiences come into being? A serious skiing injury in 2015 was the catalyst to pivot Nikki from a high-pressure, indoor office to the outdoors. Walking was rehab so typically, for Nikki, she researched its benefits. It is a magic pill! Walk It Off NI was born! A chance meeting in 2019, inspired Nikki to design her first walking and food experience. Combining the benefits of walking, culture, and excellent, local food. In 2020 the ‘Hidden Huntley Walking and Artisan Food Experience’ became part of the prestigious Discover Northern Ireland, Embrace A Giant Spirit Campaign.
