This is a unique activity, only available at Xscape for this one-off Martin House challenge event.

Take on the LEGO walk!

Saturday 18th - Sunday 19 May 2024

You’ve heard of a fire walk, right? Well, we’re replacing the hot coals with thousands of loose LEGO pieces for this challenge.

Bare your feet and put your mind over matter to take on this toe-curling trial! Put your strength and courage to the test, as you attempt to cross the path of prickly LEGO bricks before you.

This challenge is suitable for anyone aged 5+, with leg mobility. The LEGO walk requires good balance but doesn’t involve strenuous physical exercise.

Thrilling fundraising event!

In addition to the entry fee which secures your place, help the hospice by doing what you can to raise a minimum of £50 sponsorship. £50 could help Martin House to provide a specialist counselling session, giving a grieving parent vital time to talk and come to terms with their overwhelming sense of loss.

Will you be a bronze, silver or going for gold fundraiser? We’ll reward you with different thank you goodies depending on how much money you raise. As always, our events team are on hand throughout your fundraising journey to help in any way they can!
