Led by Hever Castle’s Head Gardener, Neil Miller, thirty courageous fundraisers braved a red-hot firewalk in aid of Perennial. Participants were fully trained by expert instructors before they attempted to walk across hot coals, ensuring they were confident and ready to conquer the fiery challenge.
Eleanor Steele, Community Fundraiser at Perennial, said: “The Firewalk is not just about the thrill; it’s about uniting the community in support of the people who care for our gardens and landscapes. We’re thrilled to host this at such a historic venue and encourage everyone to take part in this inspiring and impactful event.”
Neil Miller, Head Gardener at Hever Castle, said: “As a long-time supporter of Perennial, this event is an unforgettable experience and will help raise essential funds for such a meaningful cause.”
