Pyjama-clad night walkers to light up Ipswich for hospice
Hundreds of supporters will don their brightest sleepwear for St Elizabeth Hospice's 19th Midnight Walk after last year's event raised £135,000 for vital care services.
Why it matters: Each step taken by participants helps fund essential support for more than 4,000 patients and families living with life-limiting illnesses across the region.
What's happening: The pyjama party-themed night walk returns on Saturday, 10 May, inviting the local community to show their love for the hospice while remembering loved ones.
The details: The seven-mile route from Trinity Park includes a poignant stop at the hospice where walkers can write heartfelt messages on a special Memory Wall before continuing to the iconic Ipswich Waterfront.
What they're saying: "Our much-loved Midnight Walk is returning this May, and we cannot wait to join supporters for this unique pyjama party as we bring the party atmosphere to Ipswich," said James Fox-Golding, Events and Challenges Manager at St Elizabeth Hospice.
Behind the scenes: The evening kicks off at 19:00 with:
- Live music from Midnight Road
- Face painting
- Neon and flashing accessories are available to purchase
The bottom line: Early bird tickets are available until 28 February for £12, with the Persimmon Homes Suffolk-sponsored event open to everyone aged 10 and above. All proceeds go directly to supporting the hospice's vital services.
