Firewalk Events 2026
We are excited to announce that our Firewalk Challenge events are returning in 2026, with powerful, unforgettable experiences taking place in Edinburgh, Glasgow and London. Firewalking is exactly what it sounds like: walking barefoot across hot embers. It's not about strength or experience - it's about courage, commitment and mindset. No prior experience is needed. You’ll be guided safely by experienced professionals and supported every step of the way. All that’s required is the willingness to step forward.
Why Firewalk?
Firewalking is a powerful metaphor for life. So often, it’s the first step that feels the hardest. Once we take it, momentum builds — and we keep moving forward. Standing barefoot before the fire strips everything back - in that moment, we are all equal, facing the same challenge together. Participants often describe firewalking as empowering, liberating and a way to challenge self-limiting beliefs.
By taking part in a Firewalk Challenge, you’ll not only face your fears — you’ll help create real, positive change through your fundraising.
