Beefy's Great British Walk - Gibside Estate, Newcastle & Gateshead

Sponsor Beefy >

Beefy was joined by local children being treated for leukaemia at the stunning 18th century landscape park at the Gibside Estate.

  • About

    It's the people on the walk; the patients, the families, the ordinary people who want to something extraordinary, who have raised £13million with Beefy since he began walking to beat blood cancer in 1985.

    Beefy will be walking from Newcastle city centre to the beautiful Gibside Estate in Gateshead where you, the public, can join him and his celebrity friends to walk the final few miles and support him all the way to the finish line.

    Entry fees (£15 for adults, £5 for under 12s) for Beefy's Great British Walk cover your entry, a walk t-shirt, support and medal. We would love you to fundraise further £150 that could buy essential laboratory materials for our vital research.

    In Newcastle & Gateshead Beefy's local hero is Ben Charlton

    Join us at Gibside National Trust Park from midday where we will have a family festival with lots of fun activities, including music, entertainment and refreshments, ready to welcome and join Beefy on the final 4 miles of his walk at 1pm.

    The Barmy Army will be setting up a cricket pitch if you wish to join in for a bat!

    There are some fairly steep inclines in some areas so it may be unsuitable for some push chairs and wheelchairs.

    Well behaved dogs are very welcome on a lead.

    There is some free parking on site, but we encourage the use of frequent and easy buses to the park.
