From Good Friday to Easter Sunday, staff at The Bargeman’s Rest, The Dairyman’s Daughter and The Steamer Inn put on their walking shoes to march a total of 1,744,405 steps, or roughly 870 miles, to help Quayside Leisure raise £1,168.81 for Prostate Cancer UK.
Throughout March, which also marks Prostate Cancer Awareness Month, visitors to the three Quayside Leisure pubs (The Bargeman’s Rest, The Dairyman’s Daughter and The Steamer Inn) were given the opportunity to guess the overall number of steps that were taken at each location over Easter weekend, with the closest answer winning a free meal for two at the pub where they entered. There was a £1 minimum donation to enter the competition, with all proceeds going to Prostate Cancer UK.
A raffle also took place at Arreton Barns and The Dairyman’s Daughter, with all of the fourteen prizes provided by the various arts and crafts artisans onsite.
