The Starlight Walk at Capesthorne Hall will take place on Thursday, May 15, which is later than usual this year.
The East Cheshire Hospice spring walk is one of the Hospice’s flagship events, attracting hundreds each year.
Venue availability is behind the change, though organisers are hoping the later date will also improve the chances of better weather.
Ready to start the 2024 Starlight Walk.
An ‘early bird’ entry fee of £20 for adults and £15 for under 16s is available until March 15 before the price changes to £22.50 and £17.50.
Walkers will stroll through beautiful woodland on a 2.5k route, with the option to complete multiple laps if desired.
For many it is an emotional journey, giving them a chance to remember lost loved ones.
The walk has lighting, lanterns, fire pits, points of reflection and other features.

Community and Events Fundraiser Claire Gorton said: “As the entrance fee only covers the cost of the event, we ask everyone to try to raise sponsorship of at least £50.
“Every penny raised makes a huge difference helping us to continue to provide care in the local community.
“Alternatively, if walkers would rather not raise sponsorship, they’re able to add an extra donation of £50 when booking a place.”
Gates open at 6 pm with the walk from 7 pm. There will be live entertainment with food and drink stalls.
Well-behaved dogs are welcome and there are no fireworks. The walk is not accessible for wheelchairs or pushchairs.
