LOCK & BOE - SUPPORTING BRAIN TUMOUR RESEARCH

On February 23rd, 2026, for one day only, Lock Hatters became Lock & Boe, celebrating 350 years while supporting Brain Tumour Research and raising awareness of the devastating impact of brain tumours. We welcomed the Brain Tumour Research team and their patron multi-platinum recording artist Mr. Alfie Boe joined by a brilliant line up of star guests, all coming together for one purpose - to help find a cure for Brain Tumours.

We are proud to stand alongside Brain Tumour Research, a cause very close to our hearts. Having worked together for many years, we share a commitment to raising awareness and supporting vital research.

Brain tumours claim more than 5,400 lives every year in the UK, with nearly 13,000 people diagnosed annually. They remain the biggest cancer killer of children and adults under 40, yet research continues to be critically underfunded.

Through our partnership, we hope to raise much-needed
funds, increase awareness and support work that brings hope to patients and
their families.

Together, we are committed to driving meaningful change and, ultimately, finding a cure.

Join us on March 27th for wear a hat day and help make a difference. It's simple, fun and helps give hope to families affected by this devastating disease.

Wear a Hat. Raise Money. Change Lives.
