Kirkwood Hospice are preparing for their 10th Midnight Memory walk this Saturday, with organisers expecting a record-breaking turn out.
The event, which will start from the University of Huddersfield’s main Queensgate campus for the first time, will see over 1,200 people setting off on a six or 10 mile walk at the stroke of midnight.
The Walk is a poignant and moving event, which brings the community together in memory of a loved one.
The Dalton based Hospice’s Midnight Memory Walk has gone from strength to strength in recent years, becoming the most popular event in the Kirkwood calendar. Organisers are delighted to have a record number of walkers already registered to take part and hope that even more will come down to join them.

Event organiser, Emily Kennedy said: “This year’s walk is shaping up to be the biggest and best yet.
“Many people will be coming along to remember a loved one and walk in their memory, whilst for others the walk is about enjoying a unique and fun-filled night out with friends or colleagues.
