After arriving for a warm-up, hikers will set off at 7pm for a 5k or 10k route.

Michelle Darbyshire, fundraiser at Wheatfields hospice, said: “The Starlight Hike offers a buzzing atmosphere where people can walk together to remember loved ones or simply have fun with friends and families while supporting local hospice care. It’s a fun way of getting family, friends and colleagues together.”
