Wight Brainy Bunch Launches First-Ever Fire Engine Pull at Newport Quay
The Wight Brainy Bunch Charity are looking for teams to take part in the ultimate team
challenge this Summer as they launch their first-ever Fire Engine Pull, taking place on
Saturday 25th July at Newport Quay.
Making its debut on the charity’s events calendar, the Fire Engine Pull will challenge teams
of 10 to race against the clock as they attempt to pull an 18-tonne fire appliance a distance
of 50 metres in the fastest time. The event is set to be a thrilling spectacle, bringing
together friends, families, colleagues, and local organisations for this fun fundraiser.
This brand-new event promises an exciting day of teamwork, community spirit, and
fundraising in support of Islanders affected by brain tumours - with live music throughout
the day from some of the Islands best bands, local stallholders, licensed bar & food
vendors, kids entertainment and of course the big pull itself!
“We’re extremely excited to introduce the Fire Engine Pull for the very first time. It’s
something new, different, and full of energy—perfect for bringing the community together
while raising vital funds and awareness.” [Kat Grimes - The Wight Brainy Bunch]
Teams will need to sign up in advance to take part in this event as spaces are limited,
while spectators are invited to come along, cheer on participants, and enjoy the lively
atmosphere at Newport Quay.
