The Rising Sun Challenge, 27 May 2021
We provide much needed support and services to the people of Basildon and Thurrock

Story

Hi we are Steve and Kev, two recently retired drinking buddies who frequent the Rising Sun in Stanford-le-Hope, Essex. We are looking for some constructive things to do in our free time (along with some less sensible ones) and have set ourselves the challenge of having a pint (at least!!) in every Rising Sun in the UK (apparently there are 129). We plan to make a donation to each pub's charity however we are hoping to raise a sizable contribution for our Rising Sun's charity of choice St. Luke's Hospice Basildon. Please note this is not an attempt to get free beers, we have signed a pledge to pay for all our own drinks.



If you choose to make a donation we, The Rising Sun and St Luke's would be very grateful.
