Story

2022 will be the third Alder Hey Dragon Boat Festival, and we can't wait to welcome teams back to Crosby Lakeside! It's a fantastic day where there is something for the whole family to enjoy.

Competition has never been hotter, with many teams returning for another go at a podium finish...it's a challenge that requires teamwork, energy and enthusiasm!

This year our event is raising money for our Surgical Neonatal Appeal - we're building a state-of-the-art facility at Alder Hey for newborn babies, often premature, who undergo surgery. It's so important that these young families are given the chance to stay together, so that parents can care for their tiny baby as they would do at home.

Your support will help us make this a reality for many families in the North West and beyond, as we create a blueprint for exceptional care across the country.
