Following our very successful Cross Bay Walks in previous years, we’ve once again secured a date for a walk across the sands of Morecambe Bay. We’d love you to join as we cross the Bay from Arnside to Grange-over-Sands, enjoying the spectacular scenery and wide ranging views.
We have teamed up with the Guide Over Sands Trust for a Cross Bay Walk on Saturday 2nd August, departing from Arnside at 11:15am. Come and join us and help raise funds to see the recently partially renovated Lido site fully restored to its former glory with a swimming and leisure pool at its heart.
Ticket prices: Adults £15, Children (aged 8 to 16 inclusive) £10.00, Dogs £5. The minimum age to participate in the walk is 8 years.
People have been enjoying this unique walk across the perilous sands of Morecambe Bay for centuries. Led by Michael Wilson, the King’s Guide to The Sands, this unique day out will be an experience that will stay with you a lifetime. The author Bill Bryson once described it as the most beautiful Bay in England – who are we to argue.
We’re raising funds to fully restore Grange Lido and make it the jewel in the crown of Morecambe Bay. Any amount of sponsorship you can secure, however modest, for your participation in the Cross Bay Walk will also help is in that task.
£25 of sponsorship goes a long way. Not only does it help us financially to carry on with our work, but it demonstrates to our potential funders the widespread support we have for the project. You can download a sponsorship form HERE
Save Grange Lido is registered with Givey, a fundraising platform, where you can set up your own individual fundraising page and choose Save Grange Lido as your charity. For more information click HERE
A fully restored Lido will be a vital asset for the Morecambe Bay area, bringing health, well-being and cultural benefits for the entire community. Bringing outdoor swimming back to Grange after more than 30 years is essential but the Lido will be far more than a swimming venue without a roof.
If you would prefer not to collect sponsorship for this event, please consider making a donation to support our work. Every little helps!
