WOMEN from Worcester will take to the streets for a midnight walk and raise money for St Richard’s Hospice.

Nealy 200 have already signed up for the annual event, which takes place on Saturday, July 9.

Starting and finishing from County Hall, walkers will stride out along a 10- mile circular route or a new five-mile route under a moonlit sky.

Tricia Cavell, St Richard’s Hospice fund-raising manager, said: “The previous three years have shown this to be a truly memorable event and a great girls’ night out.

“The atmosphere was incredible with all these women gathered together to have fun in the moonlight and raise cash for the hospice.

“Ladies can dress up or dress down and we are asking all women to get their friends, family and colleagues to join us for a night out with a difference.”

Men are invited to get involved too, helping as marshals or with registration. The event is being sponsored by Hewett Recruitment of Worcester and Kidderminster.

Walkers can treat themselves to breakfast at the Orchard café at the countryside centre at the end of the walk. The event is also being supported by Wyvern FM.
