Wadworth’s 150th Anniversary Charity Cycle Ride
We’re less than one month away from our 150th Anniversary Charity Bike Ride in aid of the Licensed Trade Charity and Julia’s House, and donations are officially open.
On 1st September, our determined team will set off from the Kings Arms, Fulham to cycle 150 miles over 3 days, finishing at The Riverside, Saltford – just outside Bath. Along the way, we’ll of course be stopping at some of our fantastic Wadworth pubs.
This ride is extra special – it’s a tribute to our founder, Henry Wadworth, who in 1869 completed a similar route. We’re following in his historic wheel tracks to raise vital funds for two important causes.
The Charities We’re Supporting
Julia’s House – A remarkable children’s hospice providing care for children with life-limiting and life-threatening conditions, helping families make the most of every precious moment.
