FAQs

Are there ID or minimum age requirements to enter the event?

Due to the foam level on some of the inflatables we recommend that children under the age of 9 don’t take part.

Those under the age of 16 must be accompanied by a participating adult.

What are my transportation/parking options for getting to and from the event?

The event will be taking place at: War Memorial Park, Basingstoke, RG21 3AA

There is extremely limited parking available at War Memorial on the event day. We therefore highly recommend using local public transport or the Festival Place car park, which is 10 minutes away by foot.

Please plan your public transport route in advance.

Get fit and support our TIPTOP new programme!

by

Prostate cancer is the most common cancer in men in the UK, with more than 47,200 new cases in 2015. There are around 11,500 prostate cancer deaths in the UK every year, that’s 31 every day (2014-2016). (Cancer Research UK)

What are we doing about it?

Pelican Cancer Foundation has launched a groundbreaking new programme: Transformation In the Prostate cancer pathway – Teamwork fOr Patients (TIPTOP) which will work with cancer specialists to adopt changes in the diagnosis of prostate cancer, with the aim of reducing the number of men who are diagnosed every year, and improving treatment for those who are.

We are offering free workshops in Britain and Ireland to raise awareness among prostate cancer teams (MDTs) – including urologists, radiologists, clinical nurse specialists, pathologists, oncologists and radiographers –to help patients get the best possible treatment and care.

The charity will be working with international experts in prostate cancer on the content and delivery, once more showing that Basingstoke is a centre of excellence for cancer treatment.

The programme will not only improve clinical confidence in prostate cancer care and give a better outcome to patients, it could also make long-term savings for the NHS.

So how can you help?

We’re asking you to get into TIPTOP shape and help us raise funds for this programme! Check out our Five Steps to Fundraise – which explains how to set up a sponsored event. Why not try running 1KM, 2.5KM – or even 5KM for Pelican’s TIPTOP programme? If you need some guidance, you can contact us for a fundraising pack!

 

Pelican TIPTOP will educate to save and improve the lives of those affected by prostate cancer. Help us fund our journey.

 

 

 

 

Pelican Film Society

We hold film screenings once a month, from September to July, in the Squire Theatre at The Ark in Basingstoke.

Started in 2003, the Pelican Film Society shows films which either never made it to Basingstoke, or which came and went too quickly for most of us to see. It’s a great opportunity to see recent, art-house and classic films on the huge screen at The Ark Conference Centre.

Even better, it is all in support of a great cause, as all profits from the screenings go to Pelican Cancer Foundation to fight below the belt cancers. The charity is dedicated to improving survival and quality of life for bowel, bladder, prostate and secondary liver cancer patients. Since its inauguration, the Film Society has raised over £18,000 for the charity to help improve treatment for below the belt cancers through research and education for cancer specialists.
