Why Emily will be walking with purpose

✨Emily lost both her mum and her best friend in close succession to each other in 2019. The two were significant figures in her life, and they all shared an enthusiasm for walking. Here, Emily shares her story, explaining what walking means to her, and why she is motivated to complete Moonlight Walk this June…

Moonlight Walk: “I lost my mum and my best friend in the same year, which was pretty gruelling, and this is why I am doing the Moonlight Walk. I thought it would work quite nicely with the amount of training I would need to do. A few friends are doing it with me, so it will be a nice social event too. We can walk and put the world to rights whilst raising money for the Hospice.”

🌙🌒 Thank you to The Indian Dish!🌒🌙

We just ask that you please keep your dog on the lead throughout the whole walk, especially in Knole Park around the deer.

What safety measures are in place for participants?

The safety of all Moonlight Walk participants is very important to us. All routes will have marshals with phones or radios directing you and answering any questions.

Medical professionals will be walking with participants on all routes and the Raynet radio team will be strategically placed around the route for quick communication.

How long will my route take to walk?

We’d expect the routes to take approximately:

🌙  4 miles: 1-2 hours

🌙  8 miles: 3-4 hours

🌙  13 miles: 4- 5 hours

We have allocated 5 hours maximum for Moonlight Walk so please make sure you have returned to Sevenoaks Rugby Club by 12:00am at the latest so you can enjoy a glass of fizz and a sit down.

Are the routes accessible for wheelchairs and pushchairs?

Unfortunately not. All 3 routes will take you through Knole Park, where there is limited access to paths. Some areas of the route are cobbled which would not be suitable for wheelchairs or pushchairs.

Are there any toilets on route?

The following businesses will be opening their doors to our walkers, allowing you to use their toilet facilities:

Miller & Carter – TN13 2EN

The Kings Head – TN13 2QA

Halfway House – TN13 2JD

Bull Finch – TN13 2DR

Walking not for you but still want to get involved?

We need over 100 volunteers to make Moonlight Walk possible, without their support, we simply can't go ahead with the event. If you're able to volunteer, please fill in the enquiry form below, we'd love to have you a part of the team.

Volunteers are essential to the success of our events, they ensure our participants remain safe and importantly encourage them as they take on their challenge.
The main role of our volunteers are as route guides. You will be given a high vis, a route guide buddy and will be fully briefed ahead of the event with full instructions on where to stand and what direction to send the walkers.
