On Saturday 12th July, the CHSF team will be competing in a Dragon Boat Race – and we’d love your support!
Organised by the Rotary Club of Wakefield Chantry and Normanton, it’s a fun day for the whole family. #TeamCHSF will complete against 40 teams from local businesses, charities, and groups.
Come along to cheer us on!
As well as cheering on the teams, there will be other activities to keep you entertained including: tombola, face painting and games throughout the day. Pugneys Light Railway will be operating too, taking passengers around the park.
There will be refreshments on site with Pugney’s Café open for business along with various concessions providing a range of food and drinks to purchase. Alternatively, get the family together and bring a picnic!

Sponsor the team
As a team, we’re hoping to raise £1,000 for our world-class heart unit, our incredible heart warriors and their families.
If you can support #TeamCHSF please make a donation on our fundraising page here.
When: Saturday 12th July 2025
