This year, we are asking you to challenge yourself for Butterwick. We have a number of sport and adventure events for you to chose from. Do something new, something different, something extraordinary, Do It For Butterwick.
Great Escape 30 May. We dress you up as a ‘con’ & give you 24-hours to escape as far away as you possibly can – the only limit being you don’t have any money!
