England & Harlequins Rugby Star to Launch New Hospice Event, The Big Try

Thursday, 8 January 2026 16:12

Salisbury Hospice Charity is set to host The Big Try on Saturday, 14th March at Salisbury City Hall.

The event invites rugby enthusiasts to take part in an 8-mile sponsored walk across Salisbury’s most loved landscapes.

The walk includes a halfway pit stop at Salisbury Rugby Club, where participants will enjoy a free pasty and pint before returning to City Hall to watch live screenings of three Six Nations games. The event is kindly endorsed by Richard Hill and Cadan Murley, who will provide insights,
encouragement, and fitness tips in the lead-up to the event, helping participants feel like the pros are right there in the scrum.

A special promotional evening on Wednesday, 21st January, will give rugby fans the chance to attend “An Evening with Cadan Murley: Behind the Try Line”, an exclusive session with the England Rugby player and vice-captain of Harlequins. Attendees will hear firsthand stories from Cadan’s career, iconic moments, and life at the top of the game and participate in a Q&A. Attendees will have the opportunity to meet Cadan, obtain a photo and an autograph. The evening is free to attend, but tickets are limited.

Tickets for The Big Try and An Evening with Cadan Murley are available online. Fans are encouraged to book early to secure their place and take advantage of Early Bird Kick Off ticket prices for The Big Try.
