Upton Country Park is hosting University Hospitals Dorset NHS Charity’s biggest event of the year on Saturday 17 September.

Participants will once again raise money for local hospitals by taking part in a 3km, 5km or 10km sponsored walk for a ward or department close to their hearts.

After the walk, participants will be treated to a free gourmet burger courtesy of Rapid Relief UK as well as live funk and soul music from hospital band, The Late Shift, a live performance from The Rock Choir and a mini-makers market selling unique hand-made gifts made by local creators.

Whether you’d like to experience the great outdoors with a short stroll or embark on a longer route, Walk for Wards guarantees a fun filled day making wonderful memories in support of the Royal Bournemouth, Poole and Christchurch hospitals. You can even bring your dogs along for this truly family friendly day out.

In 2021, 250 people came together to celebrate the local NHS at Walk for Wards, raising over £12,700.

All three of the routes are accessible for all ages and abilities.

Tickets cost £15 for adults, £10 for children and under 5s go free.

You can also take advantage of the family ticket offer and register two adults and up to four children for just £40.

Every participant will be automatically entered into a prize draw for a hamper of hand-made gifts donated by stall holders.
