Brave the barefoot walk across the coals for Deafblind UK!
It’s time to turn up the heat and face the flames for the Deafblind UK Firewalk series, this year taking place in Cardiff, Birmingham, London and Peterborough!
Dubbed ‘the hottest, shortest sponsored walk in the world’, the Firewalk is a barefoot walk across red-hot wood embers measuring up to 800 degrees! No tricks, no special effects. Just you and the fire. It’s the ultimate test of courage and the perfect challenge for any fitness level.
The firewalk is a truly life-affirming experience. Not only will you conquer the most primal of fears, you’ll raise vital funds to support people who are deafblind too. And after all, if you can walk on fire, you can find the confidence to do anything!
Full safety training is provided. You’ll be treated to a lighthearted, interactive training seminar with our firewalking expert, leaving you feeling fired up and ready to face the flames!
Our expert has guided 1,000s of people across the fire, over a 35-year career, so you can rest assured you’re in safe hands.
Spaces for this bucket list experience are limited to just 100 participants per venue, so we recommend that you register early to avoid disappointment.
This event is deafblind-friendly - British Sign Language (BSL) interpreters and venue guides will be on hand to ensure the training seminar is accessible to all participants.
“A totally fantastic night out, it was laughter from the moment I stepped in the door to the moment I left it, just brilliant” – Firewalker
