Why walk on fire or Lego?
A Firewalk or a Legowalk are unforgettable challenges that push your limits, build confidence, and support Hospice in the Weald with every step.
Legowalk is suitable for ages 5 and above, so why not get the whole family involved! For the Firewalk, participants take part in an hour of training with expert UK Firewalk instructors before the walk. Once the embers are ready, the coals are raked flat and participants remove their footwear before walking across the fire one at a time.
Many describe the sensation as walking on eggshells or warm sand and most walkers report no pain. Some even choose to cross more than once. As with any activity involving fire, there is some risk, which is why following the trainer’s guidance and safety instructions is essential. Proper procedures ensure the experience is as safe as possible.
How to take part
As per UK Firewalk’s policy, participants under the age of 18 will be able to take part in the Firewalk with consent from a parent or guardian, which includes a signed form. Legowalk can be undertaken from ages 5 with no upper age limit.
Why not take on the Firewalk as a corporate team?
Looking for a team night out that will really bring your team together? Our Firewalk is the perfect way to ignite team spirit, boost morale and share an unforgettable challenge, all while giving back and supporting your local community!
Step across the hot coals one by one, cheer each other on and celebrate a huge achievement together. You can even add some friendly competition by seeing which team or colleague can raise the most money.
It’s a brilliant night out and a memorable team‑building experience, all in support of Hospice in the Weald!
What you need to know
- No special preparation is required. No foot treatments or mental exercises. Everything you need will be covered during the training session.
- Please avoid alcohol or drugs before the event. Anyone deemed unfit to participate by the trainer will not be permitted to take part.
- Wear comfortable, casual clothing. Fire can be messy so clothes may pick up ash.
- Choose footwear that’s easy to remove and consider bringing a small towel. Flip‑flops are useful if the ground is cold.
- Nail varnish and toe rings are absolutely fine.
Every step across the embers helps us provide compassionate care for patients and families across our community. Your courage directly fuels our care.
Dare to do something extraordinary. Join us for the Hospice in the Weald Firewalk or Legowalk!
