Around 300 people are limbering up to take on this year's Midnight Walk, in support of Salisbury Hospice.

The six or ten mile routes will both start at Five Rivers Leisure Centre this evening (Saturday 27th April) and make their way around the city's streets throughout the night.

There's a neon theme too, to brighten up the journey and show others exactly who they are!

The Midnight Walk is a flagship fundraiser for Salisbury Hospice, which needs to raise £2.9 million a year to care for terminally ill patients, both on site and through their At Home services.

It's also a chance for people taking part to remember loved ones lost - with a special Memory Book to dedicate messages, within Salisbury Cathedral along the walking route.

Neon colours are actively encouraged for Midnight Walkers - in fact the brighter, the better!

The Salisbury Hospice charity say:

"The walk combines fun, lively and interactive elements whilst also providing more poignant opportunities of remembrance."
