Online registration now closed. On-the-day sign ups welcome!

Join us on Saturday 7^th September at our annual Sunset Starlight Walk, where every step walked is a step toward funding our specialist care. The 6.5 mile circular route starts and finishes at Letchworth Hall hotel, taking in acres of countryside and surrounding villages as the sun sets and the stars come out.

In addition to the sunset, there will be 'light' and 'sound' shows along the way, including our spectacular tunnel of lights. We also encourage walkers to help light up the night by wearing glowsticks and fancy dress, and bring some form of 'proper' lighting such as a torch/headtorch.

Sunset Starlight Walk is a 'walk to remember', whether you're walking to celebrate the lives of those no longer with us or make new memories… or a perhaps a bit of both! It's a wonderful opportunity to enjoy a late summer's evening, walk and talk with loved ones, and connect with the local community. Four-legged friends are also welcome to join in the fun.

A key fundraiser for Garden House Hospice Care, this event is one not to be missed and is suitable for all abilities. Grab your friends, family, colleagues, walking group or sports club and sign up for Sunset Starlight Walk today.

Key timings

Registration will be open from 5pm and the event will start at 6.30pm.

Children (under 18) - £10

Your registration fee covers your event entry, finisher's medal, hot snack and a glass of fizz (or soft drink for children) at the end of the walk.

Sponsorship

Every year, Garden House Hospice Care needs to raise £7.7 million - up from £6.5 million last year. That means we now need to raise £15,300 a day to provide our specialist palliative care free of charge to the local community.

Sunset Starlight Walk is a sponsored walk and we are hopeful that the event will raise enough to fund our entire services for two days. Here are some targets you could aim for and what they might pay for:

• £96 could pay for four hours of attentive care on our Inpatient Unit for one person
• £220 could pay for all the refreshments at one of the Wellbeing Hubs we run for people who are lonely and isolated, for a whole year
• £347 could pay for the medication we prescribe for a typical patient
• £545 could pay for travel costs for our Hospice at Home team for five days.
