Starting from the Edale Village Hall, the walk covers eight miles, and participants will be asked to dress in red and will be encouraged to wear either a pair of free red shoe covers or their own red shoes, whether they be sparkly red Converse or cherry red Dr Martens.

The event forms part of a series of red shoe walks across the country for the charity’s annual Red Cross Week, which aims to raise £1 million for British Red Cross work at home and overseas.

British Red Cross fundraiser Alex Gadsby, says: “No matter your age or where you live there is a red shoe walk to suit you – the Derbyshire event being our closest and in my opinion the most beautiful! It really is a great day out for the whole family and a great opportunity to raise some money.”
