Unfortunately, this year we weren’t able to find a route that would be able to take in all 5 Almond Family Pubs while still being easily walkable and a suitable distance for the large number of families that take part.
If you’d like to take part at The Station House, we will be fundraising on the day – and our team would be more than happy to help you raise a glass for One Small Step 2026.
If you have your t-shirt from last year then please do bring it along to wear as this will save the charity significant money.
Yes of course! Please let us know your requirements in the sign-up form so that we can arrange for this to be available at the Puss in Boots (You will be given a different coloured ticket so that the pub can easily see your requirements). You can see our full vegan/vegetarian menu here, and our NGI menu here.
Yes of course, please just let us know so that we can arrange for your payment to be refunded. In the past we’ve found many of you have been generous when unable to attend and have donated your fee (thank you!!). If you’re unable to attend but would still like to donate your fee then please let us know as soon as you can. This way we can easily ensure the full fee goes to charity and we may be able to fill your spaces again.
Just let us know, you can either pick up their t-shirt and meal ticket from registration or we can arrange for it to be left at a pub of your choice.
We’ve found the best way to fundraise is through Just Giving. You can fundraise through Just Giving in two ways.
1 – Set up your own Just Giving page. This way you’ll know how much you personally have contributed to the charity.
2 – Share our general Just Giving page between your friends and family. This saves you the job of setting it up but will make it more difficult for you to work out how much you’ve raised.
Our general Just Giving page will be up and running soon, which we will send the link out for once we have it.
You can download a paper sponsor form by following this link and print your own or pop in to one of the pubs, where we will have them available for you to pick up.
Yes, please just pop in to any Almond Family Pub and speak to the manager who can sign you up and take your payment – this is only when sign-ups are open. Scroll up to register your interest.
