Sponsored 10k Family Walk Enjoy a family walk, and help raise funds for our New Museum. Our total fundraising target for this walk is £5,000 which will go towards the £500,000 needed for the new building. Organised by Across the Divide and called Just Walk, this is an exciting sponsored charity walk for anyone, including children, wanting to raise funds for the charity of their choice. The walk is open to anyone who is keen to get their walking boots on, raise some sponsorship, and hike for charity.

It is a circular walk, and offers you, your family and friends the chance to experience breathtaking views over the picturesque South Downs, and at the same time generate funds through sponsorship for your chosen charity, Arundel Museum.

The Registration Fee for the 10km Family Walk is £12.00 per walker (children aged 11 or under go free). This price goes up unless Arundel Museum get more than 40 walkers, so why not get all your friends and family walking too. The closing date for registration is 15 April.

As soon as we have received your registration details and payment, a sponsorship form will be sent to you by Arundel Museum so that you can start getting your sponsors immediately. (For additional forms click here.) An event pack will be sent to you later by Across the Divide, preferably by email.

Please note:

• Children are welcome, but those aged 17 or under on the day of the event must be accompanied by a responsible adult who is also registered to participate in the event.
• No dogs except guide dogs.
• Route not suitable for wheelchairs or buggies.
• Arundel Museum Society is promoting only the 10km walk, but walkers can register directly with Just Walk for one of the other distances, 20km, 40km or 60km, and still donate their sponsorship to the Society.
