💚 EVERY STEP HOLDS A MEMORY 💚
This October, four communities will walk as one for Great Oaks Hospice.
Whether you’re walking in memory of someone special, alongside someone you love, to support the Hospice, or simply because you want to make a difference, we’d love you to be part of The Great Great Oaks Walk.
On Sunday 18th October, choose the walk closest to you and join us for an approximately 5K route, with every walk starting at 10.30am:
📍 Coleford – starting and finishing at Great Oaks Hospice
📍 Cinderford – starting and finishing at Cinderford RFC
📍 Lydney – starting and finishing at Lydney Football Club
📍 Newent – at Newent Lake, with parking available in the nearby public car park, which is free on Sundays
This isn't about being the fastest or walking the furthest. It’s about who you’re walking for and why.
Bring your family, bring your friends, bring your well-behaved dog on a lead – and bring those memories with you. 💚
Entry is just £5 per person, with under-15s FREE, and every step will help Great Oaks continue providing care and support free of charge to people in our community.
📞 Book your place now: 01594 811910

🎃👻 IT’S ASTOUNDING! 🔎🕺
This Halloween, Trust Me Maybe? are taking over Bells Hotel, Coleford for a night of monsters, mystery, dinner and downright suspicious behaviour — all in support of Great Oaks Hospice.
Welcome to THE MONSTER MASHED! 🧛♂️🧟♀️
And you know what happens when Halloween gets a little strange…
🎶 “It’s just a jump to the left…”
🔎 Then take a good look to the right…
👀 Keep your eyes on the person behind you…
🕵️ And whatever you do, DON’T TRUST THE ONE ACTING INNOCENT! 😂
Your suspects are assembled, the clues are waiting and somewhere amongst the lies and deception is the answer.
All you have to do is enjoy a two-course dinner, interrogate the evidence and work out whodunnit before the big reveal.
And this is Halloween, so don't arrive looking sensible! Spooky fancy dress is encouraged — vampires, witches, monsters, mummies and anything else you can drag out of the crypt.🧙♀️
📅 Friday 30th October 2026 | 🚪 Doors 6:45pm
📍 Bells Hotel and Country Club, Coleford | 🎟️ £32 per person
There’s a bottle of red and white wine for the winning team, plus a raffle on the night.
📞 01594 811910 | 📧 events@great-oaks.org.uk
Time is fleeting… and the suspects are waiting. 👀
All together now…
🎶 SHALL WE DO THE TIME WARP AGAIN? 🎶
…and raise some vital funds for Great Oaks Hospice while we're at it. 💚🎃
