About

The much-loved Rowans Hospice Charity Moonlit Memories Walk will be returning on Saturday, 20 May 2023.

Moonlit Memories is a sponsored walk under the night sky to remember a loved one whilst taking in the iconic sights of Portsmouth and Southsea, and raising much-needed funds for local hospice care.

This unique experience begins at 8pm on Castle Field, where participants will warm up with some fantastic entertainment. Join in as an individual or get a group of friends together and go as a team… everyone aged 11 years and above is welcome.

Choose from a 6- or 10-mile walk, breathing in the sea air, and then wow at the wonder of the HMS Warrior, which is a true spectacle by moonlight. Portsmouth Cathedral will also be opening its doors to welcome participants to light a candle and spend a few moments reflecting and remembering loved ones.

The route will finish back at Castle Field where finishers will receive a participation medal and can enjoy a complimentary breakfast bap and a hot drink to warm up.

The charity's reliance on income from voluntary donations and fundraising events remains vital to the future of local hospice care. By taking part in the Moonlit Memories Walk you will be directly supporting the delivery of services now and into the future. The Rowans Hospice asks everybody who participates in the Moonlit Memories Walk to pledge to generate a minimum of £100 sponsorship or make a one-off donation to support the charity. It appreciates that for some this is a challenge - however, every £1 of sponsorship is important and all income generated through the Moonlit Memories Walk will be supporting the future of local hospice care.

Tickets are available on the Rowans Hospice Charity website: rowanshospice.co.uk/event/moonlit-memories-walk-2. Early-bird tickets are available until 5 March for £10. After that, tickets are £20 per person. Tickets include a t-shirt, medal, breakfast bap and hot drink.
