Anyone age 18 years and above, and able to walk unaided across the length of the walk (approximately 10-15 feet) can take part. There are no ‘special abilities’ required and you will receive all the instruction you need on the day.
No, all training will be provided at the workshop on the day to help you prepare physically and mentally.
Fire does carry an element of risk – this is part of the unique appeal of this event! However on the night, firewalkers will be coached on the best way to approach the challenge with the intention of having the best possible experience!
Many say it’s like walking on popcorn, or fresh, crunchy snow. Everyone has their own unique experience, and a memory that will last a lifetime.
Firewalks have previously taken place in all sorts of weather without issues.
Yes, we would encourage you to bring supporters to see you achieve this amazing feat! Your family and friends will be able to join you in the stadium after the pre walk briefing to watch you take on the firewalk.
Please make sure you wear something comfortable that does not restrict your movement. Any trousers you wear should be able to be rolled up above your ankles.
Online fundraising is a great way to raise sponsorship. You can set up a fundraising page via JustGiving, which will link your page to the event. The funds from JustGiving automatically come through to Tŷ Hafan, so once you have set up your page and shared it with friends, family and colleagues, you don’t have to do anything else.
