People taking part will receive full training and a motivational seminar from UK Firewalk, which is organising the event.

James Faulkner, general manager at Motorpoint Castleford, said: “We’re delighted to have teamed up with The Prince of Wales Hospice to host the charity fire walk and look forward to welcoming everyone next month for what promises to be a night to remember.”

The Pontefract hospice, on Halfpenny Lane, is Motorpoint’s official charity partner in West Yorkshire.

The fire walk is part of the firm’s commitment to raising £6,500 in the 12 months from August 2016.
