The Simon Weston Sporting Challenge Testimonial Day

When the Sir Galahad was destroyed in the Bluff Cove air attack during the Falklands War in 1982, Simon Weston was on board as a serving Welsh Guardsman. He was severely injured, sustaining burns to 46% of his body and changing his life forever. Since then, he has become an inspiration and a national treasure for his courage and determination to overcome his injuries and redefine his role in life. His message is one of achievement, triumph in the face of adversity and seizing every moment.

Simon is, quite simply, a phenomenal person and an example to all Despite the challenges he has faced, he has spent his life giving back and helping others with no expectation of anything in return. This extraordinary day gives us all a chance to mark Simon's achievements and to give something back ourselves to this great man with a fantastic event which will take place at E.J. Churchill Shooting Ground.

As well as refreshments around the course, there will be having a champagne drinks reception in the pavilion followed by an amazing and unique feast created by Tom Griffiths of Flank.

Tom is one of the UK's most exciting chefs, and is a master of extraordinary food cooked over fire "using seasonal, incredible produce and never holding back on flavour" He has collaborated and held bespoke events with Vice, Ace Hotel, Andrew Clarke, Zuma, The Frog, Carhartt-WIP, Land Rover, Burberry, Incognito, and Meatopia, to name a few This year, he presided over Wilderness Festival, cooking a fine-dining feast for over 4000 attendees. Tom only cooks high welfare meat, alongside a vegan offering of organic plant-based produce, all of which is cooked over fire.

There will be a Celebrity compere and host auctioneer as well as a raffle and a clay sweep.

The course of 5 team flurries will offer varied, challenging and plentiful shooting around the Shooting Ground along with an optional Pool Shoot. Teams will be guided around the course by one of the hosts.

The team of professional shooting instructors will be on hand to offer help and advice throughout the event.
