Hundreds of our supporters will be pulling on their boots and trekking a 10-mile route along the Llangollen Canal this Spring.

On Sunday 22nd March walkers will join together and take on the ever-popular annual walk, which starts at the Trevor Basin in Llangollen, before heading over the world-famous and majestic Pontcysyllte Aqueduct, which provides breath taking views as they cross the famous arches.

From there they follow the canal all the way to The Poachers pub at Chirk for refreshments before heading back, where all participants will receive their special 2026 medals.

Last year the event, which is now in its 16th year, raised and incredible £30,000 to help local children with life-threatening conditions to live their best life.

Our fundraiser Vicky Bradbeer said: “This wonderful event is guaranteed to put a smile on your face and a spring in your step next March. Bring along friends, family, colleagues and those four-legged friends and embrace the great outdoors.

“The canal walk is extremely popular and well-supported and has always been a sell out, so make sure you sign up and get your tickets via the Hope House website to avoid disappointment.”
