Florence Nightingale Hospice launches 'Mini Night Walk' for children

Those with smaller legs can now still join in the fun of the Midnight Walk at a brand new event the 'Mini Night Walk'.

Taking place on Saturday, March 7, just as in the Midnight Walk, participants will brighten the streets of Aylesbury with flashing bunny ears and day-glo outfits on a short one mile walk through the town as the moon rises.

Vicky Harman, events manager at the Florence Nightingale Hospice Charity, said: "Our Midnight Walk is such a wonderful event with an amazing atmosphere, as Walkers tackle the miles through the night and remember loved ones together. But we can only allow Walkers over 11 years old at the event.

“Our Midnight Walkers have often asked if their younger children can get involved so we have added this new Mini Night Walk to our events calendar so that the whole family can get a taste of the magic of the Midnight Walk at more family-friendly time and distance.”

The circular one mile walk starts and finishes at Florence Nightingale Hospice Charity at Walton Lodge, Walton Street, HP21 7TA.

All Mini Night Walkers will receive a Finisher’s Certificate, plus all children will also receive a free pair of flashing bunny ears to help light up the streets.
