About The Yard Firewalk

Listed Under Charity and Fundraiser Events / Family and Kids Events

Do you have what it takes to walk barefoot across glowing embers? We think you've got the inner fire to prove you can defeat the heat!

Sign up to The Yard Firewalk and with expert training you will be able to put mind over matter and show you are capable of anything.

This empowering Firewalk event has very limited places so sign up today to make sure your spot doesn’t disappear in a puff of smoke.

By facing the fire, you'll be helping disabled children, young people and the families access the support they need to truly thrive.

What’s Involved?

There is no need to train for the fire walk; as long as you are aged 16 or over and can walk ten paces at an average walking speed, you can complete the fire walk. You will spend 90 minutes learning the skills required to conquer this challenge before taking to the coals. Our professional event organisers have been running fire walks for many years and with their expert guidance you will be in very safe hands.

What we ask of you:

You can secure one of our limited places for just £10. We ask you to pledge to raise at least an additional £70 in aid of The Yard, but would encourage you to aim high and raise as much as possible to support The Yard. Remember, every pound you raise will be helping disabled children and their families.

There are only 50 places available so make sure you secure your place today.

Don’t forget to fire a message to your family, friends or colleagues so they can get their place alongside you, with live entertainment, drinks and nibbles, we guarantee a night to remember!

Where possible we will update our listings to notify of cancelled, postponed and rescheduled events, however we STRONGLY ADVISE that you check with the venue/organiser in the first instance for updates.

All information (whether in text or photographs) is supplied in good faith but should not be relied upon as being a statement of representation or fact.
