THERE will be no room for cold feet at a York pub this weekend as daring fundraisers prepare to feel the heat – by taking part in a charity firewalk.

The event, in aid of Little Heroes – a Yorkshire charity which supports children with cancer and their families will be held at the Spread Eagle in Walmgate on Sunday evening. Those taking part will first undergo a seminar to prepare them for their fiery task.

A firewalking strip will be set up at the rear of the pub and those who are running the gauntlet of hot coals have been asked to either raise at least £125 for charity, or to pay the same amount on the night if they simply want to test their nerve.

Linford Gardener, who runs the pub, will be among those taking part. He said: “It was either this or glass-walking, and I didn’t fancy having my feet shredded, so we chose the firewalk.

“I’m absolutely petrified, but it’s all for a very good cause.”

For more details or to take part, phone the pub on 01904 289390. The firewalking starts at 9pm, but the seminar will start at 7.30pm.
