Light up the night on a 5-mile charity walk through Epping – in support of St Clare

A large group of people can be seen waving glow sticks and wearing illuminous tutus on the St Clare Midnight Walk. One man wears a sign on his t-shirt saying that he is walking in memory of his 'Dad' and another participant - a lady - wears one saying she is walking in memory of her 'Grandad' and 'Nanny'. The event is colourful.

Our 2025 Epping Night Walk has now taken place and we are thrilled to share that your incredible support raised over £28,000 for St Clare Hospice!

A graphic of people standing - in shades of purple, pink and blue - can be seen. A starry night can be seen above them. An illuminous love heart and half-moon is layered on top of them.
