Comedy fans can follow in the footsteps of iconic characters Kerry and Kurtan Mucklowe in the This Country Sponsored Walk on Saturday 10th September from 11am.

The walk is organised by and held in aid of the Children's Football Alliance, co-founded by Paul Cooper, the real-life father of This Country creators, writers and stars, Daisy May Cooper and Charlie Cooper. He also plays Martin Mucklowe in the sitcom.

A "pleasant and relaxed 8km walk through the picturesque Cotswolds", it will take in many of the locations that made the BBC comedy series a BAFTA-winning success, including Quenington, Coln St Aldwyns, Eastington and Northleach.

The walk is open to walkers of all ages and abilities with families and children welcome. Participants can walk at their own pace and event organisers anticipate the walk will take between 90 minutes and two hours to complete, starting from the original Keepers pub.

Registration costs £50 per entry, whether you enter as an individual or a family, and includes a This Country Sponsored Walk t-shirt.

All proceeds will go towards the CFA's Global Peace Games, which are held at the Flanders Peace Field in Belgium, the setting for the famous First World War Christmas truce football matches.

The annual games see mixed gender and mixed ability children with different needs, and from diverse communities and war-torn regions, benefit from a week-long peace education programme taught through play and sport. Every young person receives an Ambassador for Peace Certificate with the Global Peace Games helping to create peacemakers for the future.

This Country - The Complete Collection

This Country - The Complete Collection

Includes Series 1-3 of the BAFTA-winning comedy, plus The Aftermath special.

Praised as one of the best British comedies in years, this mockumentary hit has catapulted its young writer-performers - Charlie and Daisy May Cooper - to instant star status.

Feckless cousins Kerry and Lee 'Kurtan' Mucklowe live in the picturesque, but depressingly dull, village of in the Cotswolds. As they fritter away their days in the most pointless ways possible, they push their friendship to breaking point by constantly winding each other up. But, whether suffering the indignity of Kerry's house being pelted with plums, or celebrating the death of their old woodwork teacher with a bottle of cheap fizzy booze, these two miscreants always manage to stay loyal to each other.
