High quality woollen hats with a soft inside trim. 

These hats will not only keep you extra warm during or after your swim it will also help you to identify fellow 12 bayers! We do, however, welcome you to use one of your 12 bays hats from a previous year or, if you decide to buy this year's edition donate an old (good quality) one to charity or the collections for Humanitarian Aid.

Another NEW option for this year is the opportunity to make a donation towards home-cooked meals at the Hospice in lieu of a hat (or maybe even as an additional donation). This is a new initiative for the Hospice so whether it's a comforting soup, a favourite family recipe, or a special dietary request, their kitchen staff work with care to ensure that every meal is nourishing, delicious, and tailored to individual preferences. Their kitchen is more than just a place where meals are made—it's a vital part of the compassionate care that they provide, helping patients and their families feel comforted and cared for during a challenging time.

We are extremely grateful to our sponsors Advisory Services who are not only supporting this event but have also donated 50 home-cooked food vouchers to the Hospice.

Would love the hat but also touched by the thought of making a contribution towards a home-cooked meal for our patients and loved ones? This is the option for you!

If you would prefer your hat to be posted out rather than pick it up we would be incredibly grateful if you would cover the cost of postage. With over 600 people taking part in the event last year these little costs can quickly multiply and we would like the maximum proceeds from the event to go directly to Les Bourgs Hospice.
