The region’s biggest night walk makes a much-anticipated return on Saturday 29th March 2025 following an extended break. This exciting 7.5-mile circular route will take over 300 walkers through Hull city centre, heading east to showcase the city’s unique character. Along the way, walkers are encouraged to light up the night with glowsticks, lights, and fancy dress, creating a vibrant celebration under the night sky.
Starting and finishing at St Stephen’s Shopping Centre, the event kicks off with a lively pre-walk party in the mall, setting the tone for an unforgettable evening. While the event has a celebratory spirit, it also holds deep meaning for many participants who walk in memory of loved ones. It’s a poignant sight to see walkers proudly displaying photos of family and friends cared for by Dove House Hospice.
For Dove House, sponsorship plays a vital role in covering the costs of organising and promoting the event, ensuring that funds raised by participants go directly towards providing care and support for patients and their families. This year’s Night Walk will see the event being sponsored by local businesses, Sadofskys Accountants and James Legal. Nick Miller, owner of James Legal and founder of the charity, Hopen is taking part for the first time. On why he’s getting involved, he says, “We have worked with Dove House for many years. They are an amazing charity who make such a difference and we know how much the hospice means locally to those who have been affected by their care. With the Night Walk coming up, we had no hesitation in wanting to get involved. James Legal are proud and excited to get on our walking boots and get moving to help make a positive difference in the local community!”
The Night Walk will see Dove House partner with several other local charities to help increase the impact that is felt locally. These charities include: Hopen, RSPCA Hull and East Riding, Hull and East Yorkshire Children’s University, fitmums and friends, Health Stars, Hull 4 Heroes and WISHH.
