Popular pub-to-pub fundraising walk is returning this summer

DOVE HOUSE HOSPICE HOSTING EVENT

- By DEBORAH HALL

THE much-loved Pub to Pub Walk, hosted by Hull's Dove House Hospice, is set to return this summer.

Aiming to raise awareness and proceeds for the hospice and other local causes across Hull and East Yorkshire, the event is to be held on Saturday, June 6.

Starting at the Wetherspoon Sanctuary Bar, at Hull University Students' Union, based within the University of Hull, the walk encourages supporters to dig out their walking boots and join the hospice to enjoy a challenging point-to-point route of just over 11 miles. The route takes in areas of East Yorkshire's beautiful countryside, historic villages, including Cottingham and Skidby, urban areas and rural heritage stops.

The event gives walkers chance to stop off for a well-deserved pint in six pubs along the way. Refreshment stops included are Wetherspoon at Sanctuary Bar; Goodfellowship Inn, Hull; Cross Keys, Cottingham; Skidby Lakes Golf Club; Half Moon, Skidby and Duke of Cumberland, Cottingham.
