🔥 GWAAC Firewalk Returns to Buckovers
Friday 9 October 2026
Weather permitting — in the event of unsuitable weather, the Firewalk may need to be postponed and rearranged to an alternative date.
Great Western Air Ambulance Charity’s Firewalk is returning to Buckovers for another memorable evening of fire, challenge and fundraising.
Participants will take on the extraordinary challenge of walking barefoot across red-hot embers while raising vital funds in support of GWAAC and its lifesaving critical care service.
The Firewalk was a fantastic event when it came to Buckovers in 2025, and we are delighted to be planning to welcome Great Western Air Ambulance Charity back again in October.
🌦 Weather notice: As the Firewalk is an outdoor event, it is subject to suitable weather conditions. If conditions make the event unsafe or impractical, the date may need to change. Please check the latest GWAAC event information before travelling.
