Night in the Wild in the Lake District

Will you join us for a night in the wild and help change lives? Registration is now open for Breast Cancer Now's Night in the Wild in the Lake District on 7 June 2025.

Up for a Night in the Wild?

On Saturday 7 June, we need you and your friends to join us in the breathtaking Lake District. You'll spend one special night under the stars on the beautiful shores of Buttermere, surrounded by dramatic fells, with a chance to go wild swimming. And most importantly, you’ll be raising money for people affected by breast cancer.

You’ll take on the challenge of building your own shelter with the help of our experts and spend a night without any of your home comforts.

This is a chance to connect with nature and swap the sofa for a spot around the campfire. You’ll get to bond with incredible women and share stories as the sun goes down.

After a night sleeping under the stars, we’ll provide a warming breakfast before you head off. You will leave knowing that you’ve done something amazing to support people affected by breast cancer.
