RIDE+STRIDE 2026
Ride + Stride is the single largest source of income for many Historic Churches Trusts enabling them to make Grants to places of Christian worship. It is a wonderful way to enjoy getting out and about safely as well as raising much-needed funds.
SATURDAY 12TH SEPTEMBER
Ride+Stride is a nationwide church-crawl where you can visit as many (or as few) churches as you like on Saturday 12th September between 10am and 6pm. Traditionally, you can walk, run, cycle, ride or drive, following your own route and enjoy visiting some of our county’s fabulous churches.
Our church team has participated in Ride+Stride for many years, and, thanks to your sponsorship has raised thousands of pounds to support Berkshire Historic Churches Trust and our own Parish churches.
For 2026, we are hoping to explore churches in Newbury
If you are interested in joining us either on foot or on your bike please ‘Register your Interest’ below. Christine Walker will be heading up the team this year, so reach out if you wish to know more.
Donating to
Berkshire Historic Churches & the Parish of Wargrave with Knowl Hill
Ride+Stride is the major annual fundraiser for the Berkshire Historic Churches Trust and all support continues to be much valued as churches face difficult financial circumstances. The money raised helps to save historic churches, chapels and meeting houses for future generations by helping to fund urgent repairs and the installation of modern facilities. In 2025, individuals from within Berkshire (and beyond) helped raised over £24,000 which churches can apply for grants to help with the upkeep.
