The Dark Marches is nearly here!!!!

The Production Park, ALT, XPLOR staff are embarking on a 28 mile walk (!!!) from Production Park to Leeds Dark Arches.

“Why are we doing this?” you might ask.

This walk is a celebration of how far we have come since first opening at the Dark Arches in Leeds in 1980SOMETHING, and so we aim to raise as much money as possible for charity on this walk.

Our chosen Charities are:

- Sarcoma UK
- Motor Neurone Disease Association
- St Leonard's Hospice, York

If you would like to donate please visitor our just giving page:
