A naked walk is planned in grounds of a Cheshire country house to raise vital funds for heart research. Locals in Cheshire are being urged to bare it all for a naked walk to help raise money for the British Heart Foundation’s (BHF) life saving research.
Fundraisers can leave their clothes behind and take part in the Naked Heart Walk, held in the stunning gardens of Adlington Hall, a country home in the heart of Cheshire countryside near Macclesfield.
The event has been organised by British Naturism as part of their charity partnership with the BHF. It will take place on Wednesday July 20 and participants can sign up to one of two walks at the venue – one starting at 3pm and another starting at 6pm.

Walkers will be able to feel the breeze on their skin as they walk along a circular path up through the extensive grounds and onto the lawn by the hall. There will also be a maze to explore.
Each participant is being asked to raise at least £100 through sponsorship, which will help fund the BHF’s research to save and improve the lives of people living with heart and circulatory diseases. In Cheshire alone, around 140,000 people are living with these conditions.
Walkers will receive a fundraising pack and full support from the BHF to help them reach their sponsorship target. A BHF medal will also be handed out at the end of the walk, with snacks and water provided to all participants.
The event is ticket only and anyone taking part must be aged over 18. The grounds of Adlington Hall will be closed to the general public during both walks, and there will also be a gazebo on site where participants can disrobe.
Ron O’Hare, North West Coordinator for British Naturism, said: “Naturism is great for your body confidence, self-esteem and physical and mental health.
“Our Naked Heart Walk provides a brief escapism from covering up and will be an exhilarating experience for all who take part. Stripping off will be for a good cause, too, as the money raised through sponsorship will help fund the BHF’s vital research.
“We can’t wait to hold our event at Adlington Hall soon and would urge anyone who wants to join us to purchase tickets now.”
Emily Lyle, Fundraising Manager at the British Heart Foundation (BHF), said: “By daring to bare for the BHF, you will be able to get moving and meet other fellow nude walkers, all whilst exploring the fascinating grounds of Adlington Hall.
“Your fearlessness will pay off, as any money raised will help the BHF continue to fund its ground-breaking science to find the cures and treatments of the future.”
The event is limited to 100 participants. Tickets cost £15 and can be purchased by clicking here.
