Events in Rossendale - Walks

We want you… in your brightest wigs, bunny ears and tutus, to do the Bury Hospice Midnight Walk.  If you haven’t got anything outrageous, you can buy something from us on the night and help raise even more funds for Bury Hospice!

We want this year’s walk to be the biggest and best ever. Tell all your girlfriends, workmates, sisters, mothers and grandmothers. Young or old, all are welcome, tell every girl and woman that you know and lets see if we can smash some records!!!

Our Midnight Walk is a sponsored walk that starts at midnight for ladies who want to support the work of Bury Hospice. We start at the Village Hotel and walk a marshalled route, for approximately 10 miles around the Bury area.

Registration is £10 for adults or £5 for 16 or under and includes a Midnight Walk T-Shirt, a medal and light refreshments at the finish.

We are also looking for male volunteers over the age of 18 to help on the night as marshalls, making sure all our ladies are safe throughout the walk.
