This family-friendly 5km sponsored walk is perfect for all ages, with an earlier evening start time making it ideal for children, families, friends and colleagues to take part together. Whether you’re walking for someone special, celebrating their life, or simply supporting your local hospice, everyone is welcome to join us.
The Chester Twilight Walk is an opportunity to come together to remember loved ones we have lost or those living with a life limiting illness, whether they are cared for by the hospice or not. While the event will provide moments for reflection, it is also a joyful celebration of life, love and community. Expect a vibrant atmosphere filled with laughter, music and togetherness as we light up the city together.
The scenic route will take you through Chester city centre, joining the historic walls and passing many of the city’s famous landmarks, including the Town Hall, Cathedral, Eastgate Clock, Roman Gardens and the River Dee, before returning to our event village for medals and refreshments.
Along the route, there will be live music playing, buildings illuminated in hospice colours, and the opportunity to leave a lantern in Chester’s Roman Gardens as a tribute to someone special.
Event t-shirts can be purchased for just £5 (for collection on the evening). If you would like one, simply add the Event T-shirt option when signing up.
Registration opens from 6:00pm, with the walk setting off at 7:30pm, just as the sun begins to set across the city. Before the walk starts, enjoy live entertainment, food vendors and colourful event merchandise. Along the route, you’ll discover surprise entertainment acts to keep spirits high and energy levels up.
As day turns to dusk and Chester begins to glow, you’ll join hundreds of others in a memorable evening of remembrance, celebration and community support, helping to light up the city in honour of those who will always hold a place in our hearts.
