Our roadshow is heading to Portsmouth
Tuesday 15 April 2025
We’re excited to invite Portsmouth locals to walk inside a giant inflatable bowel, when it tours the city, to raise awareness of bowel cancer and its symptoms.
The giant inflatable bowel — measuring nineteen feet by seven feet — is an interactive experience to demonstrate the various stages of bowel cancer, raise awareness of its symptoms, the importance of taking part in screening and good bowel health. Our roadshow gives people a chance to ask any questions or share any worries about bowel cancer to one of our friendly and experienced staff and volunteer team.
Come and chat to us on:

Genevieve Edwards, Chief Executive at Bowel Cancer UK, said: “We're excited to bring our 2025 UK roadshow tour to Portsmouth, starting important conversations about bowel cancer. Our mission is to raise awareness about the symptoms, encourage people to contact their GP if they notice any signs and highlight the importance of bowel cancer screening for those who are eligible. We’re hoping our giant inflatable bowel will be a fun and engaging way to break the ice and start lifesaving conversations, so come and visit us on our UK tour. No appointment needed — just drop by, ask questions about your bowel health and get signposted to further support. See you inside!”
