Ellen MacArthur Trust Jingle Bell WalkHo-ho-hosted by our friends at Musto, this 3km walk from Musto on Cowes high street, along the seafront and back through Cowes to Musto is open to anyone who wants to spread some Christmas cheer, enjoy some festive fresh air and support young people in recovery from cancer.

The Jingle Bell Walk will begin at 1.30pm as Musto get everyone into a festive spirit before the walk gets underway at 2pm. Every Jingle Bell walker will be kitted out  in a blue Christmas hat and bells helping spread the festive cheer to all those who are near.

Afterward, join us to enjoy Christmas songs, mulled wine and mince pies before the event finishes at 3:45 pm. 

THE CHRISTMAS BAKE OFF IS ON! There will be a mince pie competition, so channel your inner star baker, bring your homemade mince pies along and be in with the chance of winning some goodies as everyone tucks into the entries at the end of the walk.

Boxing Day Dip – Wednesday 26 December

Ellen MacArthur Cancer Trust Boxing Day Dip 2017Blow away the Christmas Day cobwebs by joining hundreds of Boxing Day dippers taking the plunge.

Gather your friends and family and get dipping - it may take your breath away, but it is nothing compared to the shock our young people and their families face when hearing the word ‘cancer’ for the first time.

The Isle of Wight dip takes place at Gurnard Green at 11am, and last year more than 100 people from the island and South Coast braved the elements to support young people in recovery.

But you don’t have to live on the Isle of Wight to get involved.

Boxing Day Dips happen across the UK so if there’s one near you, why not brave it and get cold and wet for us? Or if there isn’t there’s still time to throw your friends in and plan your own!
