The Moonlight Walk is back!

Derby city’s most feel-good event of the year is making a comeback! The Treetops Moonlight Walk is returning on Friday 5 September. It’s set to be an unforgettable evening of walking, music, laughter, and making a real difference.

5k or 10k sponsored walk

Starting and ending at the newly-refurbished Derby Market Hall, the 5k or 10k sponsored route takes walkers past iconic city centre landmarks including Derby Cathedral, where walkers have the opportunity to light a candle and remember a loved one.

Walkers receive an official Moonlight Walk t-shirt, and a medal as they cross the finish line. There will also be entertainment, music and a wonderful atmosphere along the fully-marshalled route.

Early Bird discount entry

A special Moonlight Walk Early Bird discounted entry fee of £12 (RRP £18) is available until midnight on Monday, 2 June.

Fundraising is vital to enable Treetops to continue to care for local patients as Vic Rocca, Relationships Manager – Key Events, explains:

Fundraising is vital for hospice care

“It costs over £5.7million a year to provide our vital care in the local community and run the hospice. We receive less than 18% funding from the Integrated Care Board (ICB) to deliver our care. So, the remaining £4.7million we must raise ourselves.

“We can only achieve this with the support of local people getting behind events like the Moonlight Walk.

“Everyone who takes part is encouraged to raise £48 in sponsorship. This will help us provide a patient at the very end of life with four hours of nursing care in their own home.

“The Moonlight Walk is more than just a walk – it’s a night to celebrate, reflect, and come together as a community. Whether you’re in it for the cause, the good company, or the fun, the Moonlight Walk is a night to remember. So grab your family and friends, and sign up today!”
