Katharine House Hospice’s Walk to Remember will take place on Saturday, 13 September at Shugborough Estate.
People registering before Friday, 27 June, will receive an early bird discount of just £12.50 per ticket.
Last year, nearly 600 people walked together in memory of their loved ones, making the event feel exceptional and creating a terrific atmosphere. It is hoped that even more people will join the walk this year.
Michelle Walters, who joined the walk in 2024, said: “It was a great walk and lovely to see such support. I walked in memory of my Dad, George, and my sister Karen, who was cared for by the hospice. The staff are angels on earth.”
Participant Jane Reed also praised the walk, saying: “It was a wonderful event, beautiful location, and a lovely way to remember family and friends.”
While Katie Nixon commented “It was like being part of something really special.”
Open to all ages, abilities, and dogs, participants will follow a beautiful 5k route through stunning grounds along the banks of the rivers Sow and Trent, and past the majestic ancestral home of the Anson family, Shugborough Hall.
Lyndsey Howard, Katharine House Hospice’s events fundraiser, said: “After a successful event last year, we’re thrilled to see the return of Walk to Remember. The event gives our community the chance to come together to celebrate and remember someone special while also raising much-needed funds for the hospice.
"We can’t thank our sponsor Millar Sandy Commercial Property Surveyors enough for supporting us and ensuring we could go ahead this year.”
Hayley Mival, general manager, Shugborough Estate said: “We are delighted to be welcoming Katharine House Hospice back to Shugborough Estate for their Walk to Remember.
"The walk will take place around the Grade 1 listed grounds, and participants will be able to enjoy seasonal highlights as they walk in memory of their loved ones.”
