Perennial is the UK’s only charity dedicated to helping everyone who works in horticulture, and their families, when times get tough. The charity provides free and confidential advice, information and support to people working in, or retired from horticulture and their families.

Taking place on the 18th of October at Hever Castle in Kent, the Fire Walk for Perennial is a unique opportunity for individuals to push their limits and conquer their fears while contributing to a meaningful cause. The event will include a comprehensive training session led by expert fire walk instructors, ensuring all participants are fully prepared to take each step.

All funds raised from the event will directly support Perennial’s vital services, which include financial assistance, health and wellbeing support, and training and development programmes for individuals in the horticultural industry.

“We are delighted to host our second firewalk at such a prestigious and historic location,” says Eleanor Steele, Community Fundraiser at Perennial “The Firewalk is not just about the thrill of the challenge; it’s about coming together as a community to support those who nurture the landscapes and gardens we all cherish. We encourage everyone to join us for an unforgettable evening that promises to inspire and make a real difference.”

Head gardener at Hever Castle & Gardens, Neil Miller says: “As a long-time supporter of the fantastic charity Perennial, I literally can’t wait to get my boots off and walk across hot coals for them at Hever Castle on the 18 October! We think it will be a really wonderful (and unforgettable) experience and would love as many of our horticultural friends as possible to join us on the day, and raise lots of funds for a charity very close to my heart.”
