About The Big Zip- Xscape
Friday 17 May 2024 - Sunday 19 May 2024
Martin House is taking over Xscape in Castleford, for three days only, with some exciting new fundraising challenges. Face a daring challenge to transform the hospice for children living with life-limiting conditions. Find out more…
Fly high on a zip line
Calling all adrenalin junkies! Whizz along a 240-metre zip line, from the dizzying heights of the Xscape building. Take a leap of faith and fly out into the fresh air, landing across the carpark.
Experience the thrill with your family, friends or colleagues. Not only will you earn some serious bragging rights, but you’ll also get a medal and certificate to prove it!
Take on the LEGO walk
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.
Pricing
Zip line challenge (ages 10+)*: £36 per person
*Please note that age and physique restrictions apply to this activity. The launch hatch (which you will jump from) measures 100cm x 58cm. There is a minimum weight of 30kg, in addition to the 10+ age restriction. See our FAQs below for further details.
LEGO Walk challenge (ages 5+): Saturday and Sunday
£25 family (2 adults & 2 children)
£10 adult (ages 18+)
£5 child (ages 17 and under)

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!
