Rotary Wishing Well Walk

9th MAY 2026 12PM Cliffhanger Café, Highcliffe

The 2026 Wishing Well Walk on 9th May, is a family-orientated sponsored walk that is being jointly organised by Christchurch and Highcliffe Rotary Clubs and Macmillan Caring Locally  in aid of their respective Charities.

The walk will start at 12pm from the Cliffhanger café with walkers being set off at intervals – start times being allocated on registration for the walk.  The full walk is approximately 6 miles  from the Cliffhanger to the Rotary Wishing Well on Mudeford Quay and back to the Cliffhanger. There  will also be an option for 3 miles, stopping on reaching Mudeford Quay – although, if you choose to do this, you will need to arrange your own travel back to Highcliffe if necessary.

Registration costs £12 for one person. If you are going as part of a group then each additional person (up to 5 additional) is £3. However, we are asking every family/individual registering to obtain sponsorship for the walk to provide the bulk of the funds being raised. There will be a prize for the most sponsorship raised.

Family friendly entertainment in the form of Mr Pops Baloons and Glitter Glam Bar (face painting) will be at The Cliffhanger for at least the first couple of hours. There will also be a short quiz for walkers to do along the walk as in previous years. 

There is a £50 Amazon voucher to the winner of the quiz and another £50 Amazon voucher to the person who raises the most sponsorship money

So do join us for the Rotary Wishing Well Walk, where we’ll stroll together and make wishes come true by raising funds for good causes. Every penny counts and is so gratefully received.

While the possibility of any problems at the event is very small, we recommend you read the advice from Dorset Police on ensuring your safety and security at large public events.

We are extremely grateful to our sponsors – Cliffhanger Restaurant and Taylor Made Designs.

*Financial Split – 75% to Macmillan Caring Locally, 25% to local charities supported by Christchurch and Highcliffe Rotary Clubs.

A hugh THANK YOU goes to our sponsors
