A celebratory event for you and your friends and family

The Beaulieu Estate is one of the locations across the UK chosen for Walk Ten, a new Marie Curie event being held throughout the summer, with participants invited to take part in a twilight 10k walk (6.2 miles).

The Beaulieu Walk Ten, on Saturday, 4th September will begin in Hides Field, Beaulieu at 7.00pm, with registration from 6.00pm. The route winds through the picturesque village of Beaulieu and follows the tranquil Beaulieu River to the unique 18th century village of Buckler’s Hard. From this peaceful haven you’ll enjoy scenic views of both the river and this once thriving shipbuilding community where ships for Nelson’s fleet at Trafalgar were built.

At the end of the walk, you are invited to dust off your picnic blankets and settle down with some food and fizz (or a thermos of something hot) and help the charity mark the beginning of the next Marie Curie Nursing shift at 10pm. Bring a picnic, or sample something from the food stalls on site, and enjoy the festival-like atmosphere with entertainment that the whole family can enjoy including Fire Poi performers, stilt walkers, jugglers, face painters and glow in the dark hula hooper!  Please note that rustic seating in the form of hay bales will also be provided.  To mark the start of the Marie Curie Nursing shift at 10pm there will be a candlelight reflection with tea lights and messages. 

"Through the district nursing service we were provided with carers from Marie Curie Cancer Care but my mother was not sure how she would feel about this. Then Pam, our Marie Curie Nurse turned up. A total stranger at 10pm but a trusted friend by 7am."

Registration fee, including free t-shirt, is £10 (under 16s go free).
