About Midnight Walk 2024

After a five year hiatus, St Helena Hospice’s Midnight Walk returns on Friday 27th September with a NEON theme and promises to be better than ever! 

Light up the streets as you walk with hundreds of local people all raising money to make sure St Helena Hospice can be there for the people you love when they need us.  

This year the party has a brand new venue and two new routes as we'll be starting and finishing at the home of Colchester United, the JobServe Community Stadium.

Dress in your brightest colours for this year's neon theme and take on either a 4 mile or 9 mile route through the streets of Colchester. Both routes will pass St Helena Hospice on Barncroft Close in Highwoods where you can pause at our memory stop.

Anyone over the age of 11 can take part and we invite everyone to join us, whether you’re walking yourself, as a group or family, with your friends or as a couple. All are welcome!

By taking part in Midnight Walk, you can help us support more people in our local community, so they can live their lives with compassion, dignity, and choice until the very end.

Registration opens anytime from 7pm and walkers are due to set off from the JobServe Community Stadium in Colchester at 10pm. We do ask that all walkers arrive in good time of the walk starting.  

Please note there will also be a full event village kicking off the evening from 7.00pm, including a Glass and Lego Walk, performers, glitter station, food stalls and more!
