Share memories of someone special at an enchanting woodland retreat at next month’s Starlight Walk at Capesthorne Hall.
The illuminated wooden hideaway offers a place of quiet reflection for walkers at the East Cheshire Hospice event on Thursday, May 15.
The hut along the route will be a sanctuary for walkers wishing to pause to remember loved ones.

The flagship fundraising walk starts at 7 pm, one hour after gates open, and is again sponsored by Adamley Textiles.
Entries are coming in fast. The walk starts with live entertainment and refreshment stalls and is followed by a 2.5k walk looping around the hall.
Hospice Family and Friends Fundraiser Amy Williams said: “The Starlight Walk is a wonderful evening and a poignant occasion for many remembering loved ones.
“A special area of quiet reflection will be signposted on the route. Walkers can write down precious memories about their loved ones to be hung up and Hospice chaplain Marion Tugwood will be there.
“Walkers also receive a note on seeded paper provided by Andrew Smith Funeral Services to be taken home for planting.”
Admission to the walk – £22.50 for adults and £17.50 for under 16s – only covers event costs so walkers are asked to raise sponsorship of at least £50 or donate of that amount.
Well-behaved dogs are welcome and there are no fireworks. The walk is not accessible for wheelchairs or pushchairs. * To register visit www.eastcheshirehospice.org.uk/starlight-walk-2025.
