Get ready for an "unforgettable evening of fun and fundraising" at Warwick Castle this April to help support a local charity.

The Myton Hospices has launched a new Moonlight Walk which will head to Warwick on April 4 in a bid to raise £50,000.

If it hits that target, the charity will be able to help over 150 children each access a programme of 10 bereavement counselling sessions following the death of a loved one with a life-limiting illness.

The "stunning" new event will include 'Moonlight Zones' and a light trail at the castle as participants sign up to complete a 5km or 10km route around the town.

"Get ready for an unforgettable evening of fun and fundraising in support of your local hospice," organisers said.

"The Myton Hospice's Moonlight Walk will light up Warwick Castle and Warwick town centre on Friday 4 April, including Moonlight Zones and elements of a stunning light trail at Warwick Castle – you won't want to miss it!

"You can choose from 5km or 10km routes, both starting at historic Warwick Castle and taking you through the charming streets of Warwick."

Entry costs £20 and participants are asked to raise at least £30 in sponsorship which could fund a bereavement counselling session for one child.

The event will be kick started by Zumba legend Matt Print who will get participants walked up before they head onto the routes full of foam, bubbles and music.

Then end the night dancing to your favourite tunes with the DJ at the castle.

"The Myton Hospices Moonlight Walk is an opportunity to come together with friends and family in support of Myton, and is also a chance to celebrate those who are sadly no longer with us," organisers added.
