It was such a special evening filled with light, laughter and lasting memories.
Join us at our 18th annual Starlight Walk!
As the sun went down, you’ll set off on a walk to share memories, remember loved ones and be part of something truly special. Whether you choose the 10km or 15km route, you’ll be guided by twinkling lights, glowing lanterns and the colourful outfits of those around you. You can expect tutus, scrunchies, leg warmers and a whole lot of glitter!
The walk is open to all, bringing friends, families, colleagues and supporters together to create a truly memorable evening.
Our Essentials Guide has all the information you need, including registration, refreshments and t-shirt collections. You’ll even find the route map inside, so you can see exactly where you’ll be walking on the night. Whether you’re taking part for the first time or returning for another year, our guide will ensure you’re ready for an unforgettable evening under the stars.

There are lots of ways to get involved, whether you’d like to marshal along the route, help at the reflection point or give out medals at the finish line. We offer complete flexibility, so you can volunteer for a few hours or the whole evening. Without our volunteers, events like this simply wouldn’t be possible.
