Arriving and leaving Shugborough Estate
Please enter the estate via the main gated entrance at Milford and follow the road for approximately a mile to the free car park. As car parking is limited please car share wherever possible.
On arrival please make your way to the event village situated in the Park Farm Cafe area to register. Turn left through the main entrance and walk approximately 150 metres into the Estate.

Your registration fee helps cover the cost of the event – but it’s your fundraising that makes a lasting difference. By raising sponsorship, you’ll help ensure we can continue providing free, specialist care to families who need us most.
- £20 would fund a complementary therapy session
- £30 would fund a counselling session
- £100 would provide a home visit to a patient
- £450 would fund 24 hours of care for a patient staying on our Inpatient Unit.
