Charity Fire Walk

Water Eaton Community Hub is running a charity fire walk at St Frideswide's Water Eaton on Saturday 14 November, from 6pm to 9pm. The main event is exactly what it sounds like: you walk barefoot across glowing embers that reach around 600°C. All the proceeds go to the hub, so it's a fundraiser as much as a challenge.

If you're wondering where the money goes, the Water Eaton Community Hub works with local families to make sure they can get affordable, nutritious food through its Community Larder. Beyond that, it runs a welcoming café, serves free lunches, and hosts workshops and support services. It's a proper community spot, and the fire walk is one of the ways it raises the funds to keep those things going.

The evening doesn't end once the walking is over. There'll be hot dogs served by the fire, plus refreshments and a warm drink inside the Centre to help you thaw out. Parking is free on site, so you don't have to worry about that part of the night.

There are two ways to enter. You can sign up as a fundraiser for £30, which comes with a £200 sponsorship target; if you hit that target or more, your entry fee is refunded. Or you can go as a non-fundraiser for £50. You'll need to be at least 15 to take part, and anyone under 18 has to be accompanied by a parent or guardian. Tickets are sold through Eventbrite, and the whole thing runs from 6pm to 9pm at St Frideswide's Water Eaton, Drayton Road, Bletchley, MK2 3RR.
