The magnificent Dorothy House Midnight Walk took place in Bath on Saturday 15 June and it was an absolutely brilliant, heartfelt and vibrant night! We had 476 people signed up to take part in the walk and the atmosphere was buzzing. 

This year we had the usual 5K walk around the beautiful city of Bath, with 210 people taking on this route. New for 2024, we added a super duper 10K walk, with two loops of Bath and 266 fabulous people achieved this distance. 

It was a dazzling event with so much going on for Bath's biggest pyjama party! Walkers had a welcome prosecco (fabulously donated by the Great Wine Co), there was an exclusive Mulberry handbag raffle (generously donated by Mulberry), there were flashing head boppers, glittery faces, drinks, yummy snacks, comedy photo booth and a fabulous warm up from the legendary Cheryl Sprinkler from Mojo Moves. Having a bar really got everyone into the party spirit too!

There was also a memory wall on the night, where people could take some time out to remember who they were there for. With all the bonkersness of the event, it was really meaningful to step away and think of the reasons why everyone was donating their time and efforts for the charity.

Jane Yates, one of our amazing walkers, said: "I really enjoyed the walk, which I felt was a privilege, as was the fundraising. It was very emotional to think that all the walkers had been touched by the kindness and care given by Dorothy House in some way. My lovely brother was given so much loving care during his final weeks, 17 months ago and I'm so pleased to have been able to give a little back to this wonderful charity."

We are incredibly grateful to the 102 legends who gave up their Saturday night to volunteer to enable the event to happen. They completed all their tasks so beautifully – from setting up, marshalling, to manning stalls and packing away. Our Dorothy House volunteers really are the very BEST!

The event has currently raised a stunning £60,366 for Dorothy House's essential Hospice @ Home service. We couldn't be more grateful to everyone involved for all their care, fundraising and support. Thank you so much and…bring on next year!
