Thursday, 16 February 2023 00:00

Tomorrow evening (17th February), a large crowd of brave people will queue up to walk over either fire or glass; some will even do both to raise funds for Salisbury Hospice Charity.

This is your last chance to join them.

he fearless fundraisers must be brave enough to take on one or both of these daring challenges…

Fire Walk: walk 15ft over hot coals at 550 degrees Celsius! Glass Walk: walk barefoot across hundreds of razor-sharp broken glass bottles.

This challenge will leave you feeling empowered. If you can walk across red hot coals or razor-sharp glass, you can do anything!

Those taking on the challenge will be supported by UK Firewalk, one of the UK’s leading Fire and Glass Walk companies.

Walkers will receive intense training from Scott Bell to be able to perform these unique mind-over-matter experiences. Scott is the twice Guinness World Record holder for the ‘Greatest Fire Walking Distance’ by walking 328 feet on burning coals.

Abi Blake, Event Fundraiser, said, “After the huge success of our first Fire Walk in 2021, we are so excited to bring this challenge back to the Guildhall Square in Salisbury with the addition of a glass walk.

“This is truly the ultimate mind-over-matter challenge!

“Whether fire walking or walking across shards of broken glass is already on your bucket list or something you’ve never considered doing, it is an exhilarating way to challenge yourself to do something different whilst raising much-needed funds for Salisbury Hospice.”

Registration is £30 per adult for either the Fire or Glass Walk or £50 for both.

Age restrictions are 12+. Salisbury Hospice Charity asks that each brave participant raise a minimum of £100 in sponsorship for one challenge or £150 for both challenges.

Numbers are limited, so register soon to avoid disappointment. For more information and to register, click here.

Nucleus kindly sponsors the Fire and Glass Walk.
