Chimney Sweeps to honour record breaking colleague

George and his son Josh

08 Apr 2026

Calling all chimney sweeps! Join us on the afternoon of the 2nd of May to welcome home chimney sweep adventurer and record breaker George Kohler.

Sweeps wishing to join in can join the event WhatsApp group – send your details here: info@guildofmasterchimneysweeps.co.uk

George and his son Josh are on the last leg of their round the world cycling trip, fundraising for children’s charity UNICEF. Chimney sweep colleagues will form an honorary “avenue of rods and brushes“ to cheer the intrepid duo across the finish line in Georges home village of Halvergate in Norfolk. By then, they will have been in the saddle for 400 days and peddled over 30,000 km.

Sweeps will gather at around 1pm to prepare for the grand finale at 2pm. Remember to bring your rod and brush , wear your sweeping gear and as many colourful badges as you wish. Everyone welcome!

After the finish, we’ll all move on to the playing fields / village hall. There is a bar, a pizza truck and even a cricket match to watch! Following verification of their world records and a quick shower George and Josh will join everyone for photos, a chat and a well deserved pint.

Parking directions: For anyone coming we have specific parking for sweeps. It’s only a 5 min walk from the finish line. Please bring partners, children if you wish. We have some spare Guild T-shirts and spare rods and brushes and will recruit a few of the local children to assist and also on Guild Facebook.

Come and be part of something special. Local and national TV news will be there along with the The Guinness World Records™ verifier.

Our own documentary team will be there too and it’s set to be a great PR opportunity for any chimney sweep. We hope this extra publicity will help to raise even more for children’s charity UNICEF and smash their £50,000 target. Donate here: https://www.justgiving.com/page/georgeandjoshpedaltheplanet
