Event details
Thank you for your interest in our Sunrise Trek event. Unfortunately, tickets have now closed, but take a look at our events calendar for more ways to get involved with supporting Acorns.
Take in a stunning sunrise and remember someone special
Special people inspire special challenges to remember them. Take on a climb with a difference and experience the magic of sunrise over Pen Y Fan. Join a special group of supporters remembering their loved ones on this unique adventure. Could you take on the challenge and support children and families using Acorns in the process?
This challenge will take a circular route to the summit of Pen y Fan, 886 metres above sea level. There, you and your fellow trekkers will be rewarded for your efforts with a breath-taking sunrise and spectacular views of the Brecon Beacons National Park. During the climb we’ll take moments to remember and reflect on your loved ones with special memory making activities.
You’ll get full support along the way by Elite Adventure’s team of experienced mountain leaders who will ensure you get the very best of this amazing experience, and tell you all about the history of the Brecon Beacons and the formation of the stunning landscape.
Commitment to fundraise
The minimum fundraising requirement of £250 will help Acorns make sure families caring for life limited children are never alone. When a child receives a life limiting or life threatening diagnosis, a family’s world is turned upside down. It’s a terrifying, lonely time – and help can’t wait.
Part of your fundraising, alongside your registration fee will be used to cover the cost of your trip. Our expert events team will be on hand to support you with your fundraising to help you achieve this target.

Frequently Asked Questions
Who accompanies us?
You will be fully guided by a qualified mountain leader from Elite Adventures, who specialise in guided walks and challenges. An Acorns member of staff will also join you on the trek and travel with you from Worcester.
What will happen if the weather is bad?
Mountain weather can be fickle at the best of times and there is no guarantee that you will see the sunrise or even a view. The walk will take place in most weathers but the leader will reserve final judgement on the day (in most cases) and maintains the right to abandon any walk if they feel the safety of themselves or any participant is at risk.
Who can take part?
This event is aimed at supporters who would like to remember a loved one, whether that’s a child who used Acorns or a family member or friend. The trek will appeal to everyone from seasoned adventurers to Sunday hikers. The group will be fully guided, getting you safely through the darkness and up to the mountain summit.
This is an ideal walk for anyone who would like to summit the highest mountain in South Wales, witness the sunrise and experience being out in the mountains in the dark at the start of a new day. The walk is aimed at all experience levels however, you will need to be reasonably fit to ensure your own enjoyment and that of the group as the trip will take around 7 hours.
Is there an age limit?
Yes, you must be 18 or over on the day of the challenge.

You will need to bring:
- Suitable walking boots (with ankle support)
- Appropriate clothing for the walk
