**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.
