East Lancashire – Fun Walk and Fete
Dust off your walking boots (yes, the ones that haven’t seen daylight since last year) and get ready for a day of fresh air, friendly faces, and just a little bit of exercise at our Walk the Province charity event!
Whether you’re aiming for the gentle 3.5 miles or boldly convincing yourself that 7 miles “didn’t sound that far at the time,” there’s a route for everyone—no extreme survival skills required (we promise).
Bring the whole family along for a day packed with laughs, great company, and that unbeatable Masonic spirit. There’s also a well-earned BBQ waiting for you at the finish line—arguably the real reason most of us are turning up!
So come along, stretch those legs, raise some funds for a fantastic cause, and prove once and for all that Freemasons can walk and talk at the same time… even if we complain about it a little along the way.
Walk Route
Start: Hewlett Court / Kirklees Trail
Family Route: Finish near Jersey Girls Café (transport will be available back to Hewlett Court. This will have to be booked when you register).
Main Route: Continue through Burrs Country Park and finish at Hewlett Court, where celebrations will take place.
The whole route is approximately seven miles long, with the Family route being four of those. The Family route is all paths and so is suitable for the whole family – even those in buggies! The second part of the route isn’t suitable for young children or buggies.
The Walk will officially start at 11.00 am, with the Provincial Grand Master leading the way. The Family groups should be finished at around 12.30 pm, with everyone else finishing around 1.00 pm.
