More than 400 walkers took to the streets of Horbury on Saturday to take part in Wakefield Hospice’s second annual pub walk, visiting nine local pubs, raising funds to support hospice care.

The Wakefield Hospice Pub Walk set off from Horbury Academy before venturing to The Navigation (Calder Grove), The Bingley (Horbury Bridge) and then into Horbury to The Old Halfway House, Kings Arms, The Cherry Tree, Boons of Horbury, The Cricketers, Shepherd’s Arms and eventually finishing at The Calder Vale Hotel in Horbury Junction.

All entrants were encouraged to raise sponsorship for the event, with a number of the establishments involved with the day also putting on special fundraising activities to further boost income including raffles, tombolas and lucky dips.

Alex Cunniff, Events Fundraiser at Wakefield Hospice said: “We would like to say a huge thank you to everyone who was involved with making our second annual Wakefield Pub Walk such a success – after challenging weather in 2023 we were delighted to be greeted by sunshine and warm weather this time round.

“Thank you to everyone who took part in the event, to each of the establishments who kindly got involved and to our fabulous event sponsors Farnell who have been such great advocates for the event and indeed for Wakefield Hospice.”
