Participants sign-in at 6pm. The mandatory Firewalk seminar will begin at 6.30pm prompt. We anticipate the firewalk will be finished by 8.30-9pm
How much does it cost?
Registration is £30 and we ask each person to raise a suggested £200 in sponsorship. You can also register for £60, without the fundraiser option.
Is it safe?
We’ve partnered with UK Firewalk, otherwise known as Success Formulae Ltd, a renowned firewalking company. With two Master Firewalking Trainers and a dedicated Firewalk Instructor Academy, they have trained most UK firewalking instructors and many internationally. All our participants will receive expert seminar presentations to prepare you to take on this challenge safely.
Can my friends and family come and watch?
Yes, your friends and family are welcome to come and watch you conquer the coals, however please note they will not be able to watch the seminar. Only participants can attend the seminar.
What happens if it’s raining?
We will be monitoring the weather closely and take a review on the day. If weather conditions are severe and deemed unsafe, we will update participants accordingly.
Where is the Firewalk Being Held?
The event is at Bicton College, East Budleigh, Budleigh Salterton, EX9 7BY . Upon arrival, follow the arrows to the car park, where a volunteer will guide you to the sign-in desk.

Why is Hospiscare hosting a Firewalk?
We need to raise £10 million annually to fund our services. The Firewalk is designed to challenge participants mentally and physically without requiring extensive training or high fitness levels.
Why Fundraise for Hospiscare?
We are the adult hospice charity serving Exeter, central, east Devon.
As a local charity, we rely on donations and the support of our community in order to fund our services. Without amazing people like you going above and beyond to help raise vital funds, we simply couldn’t be there for our patients and their families when they need us most.
Just look at the difference you could make:
- By raising £200, you could help to fund over 5 hours of specialist bereavement support for someone grieving the loss of a loved one
- £650 could help to cover the costs of an airflow mattress for patients on our ward
- £1,406 could help fund 24 hours of expert care on our specialist ward
