As a local Marie Curie nurse, I am inviting local walkers to make the most of the great British summer evenings by taking part in a fabulous evening of sunset strolling, picnicking and entertainment taking place at Bolton Abbey on Sunday, August 29.
Walk Ten Bolton Abbey is one of a series of unique twilight 10k walks, taking place at stunning locations around the UK this summer – many of which are usually closed to the public during the evenings. The walk is supported by HomeServe, and will help to fund more nursing care for terminally-ill patients in North Yorkshire.
The walk aims to attract around 500 people to this magical evening, which will begin at 6pm with a 10k walk around the beautiful grounds surrounding the abbey ruins.
The final leg of the walk will come past the abbey lit up in glorious lights, a sight unseen before.
After the walk finishes there will be time to settle down with a picnic and enjoy the entertainment, before gathering at 10pm to celebrate that Marie Curie nurse’s all around the UK are beginning their overnight shifts in patients’ homes.
