🍺 Cambridge Pub 2 Pub – 136 Pubs. 47.5 Miles. 2 Days.
On 5th & 6th June 2026, I’ll be walking every single pub in Cambridge.
Originally, I thought I’d just rely on pigeon instinct and wing it… but that wasn’t going to fly (sorry). With the brilliant support of HDI Insight and CACI, we’ve mapped it properly:
👉 136 pubs
👉 47.5 miles
👉 Nearly 2 marathons
👉 All in 2 days 😬
The challenge? Visit every pub (roads as the boundary), photograph each one, and document the brilliant pub scene that makes Cambridge what it is. Even I couldn’t manage a pint at every stop — this one’s about the miles, not the pints.

Why I’m Doing This
It’s been six years since I lost my sister to sarcoma. She lived in Cambridge. She loved the city. She loved its pubs.
Raising money for Sarcoma UK feels like the right thing to do — personally, and professionally. With my background in pubs, this challenge brings together everything that matters: community, resilience, and remembering someone properly.
Sarcoma is rare, underfunded, and devastating. The more awareness and funding we can raise, the better the outcomes for others facing it.

Why Pubs Matter
Pubs are under serious pressure right now. But they remain at the heart of our communities.
They’re where we celebrate.
They’re where we commiserate.
They’re where life happens.
Documenting Cambridge’s pubs — properly, intentionally — matters to me. These places are more than businesses. They’re social anchors.

The Ambition
🎯 £2,000 for Sarcoma UK.
That’s the target.

How You Can Help
1️⃣ Donate / Sponsor
There’s a JustGiving link ready to go.
If you’d prefer to sponsor a mile, a cluster of pubs, or donate something for a raffle prize — I’m all ears.
2️⃣ Walk With Me
I cannot — and do not want to — walk 47.5 miles alone.
Fancy joining for a stretch? A few pubs? A few miles?
Come be part of it.

When I first thought about this, I genuinely believed it sounded easy. It isn’t.
It’s long.
It’s logistically ridiculous.
It will hurt.
But it’s meaningful. And it’s for a cause that deserves noise, attention, and funding.
If you’d like to follow along, I’ll be documenting everything over on Instagram: @cambridgepubtopub.
Let’s celebrate our pubs.
Let’s raise some money.
Let’s do something that matters. 🍻

I’m supporting Sarcoma UK, a national charity that funds vital research, offers support for anyone affected by sarcoma cancer and campaigns for better treatments. Sarcoma is a type of cancer that develops in the bone and soft tissue. It is difficult to diagnose and one of the hardest to treat. By supporting me, we can help change this. Your donation will help researchers find answers, keep our Support Line open, and raise awareness to improve treatment and standards of care.
Thank you for your support.
