St Elizabeth Hospice is once again encouraging dance divas to throw on their brightest disco clothes and join the biggest disco party in Suffolk, as the much-loved Midnight Walk returns for 2024.

Early bird tickets are now available to purchase for £12 until February 29 for the event on Saturday May 18.

Available to anyone aged 10 years and older, this year’s route is a seven mile circular walk, starting and finishing at Portman Road.

James Fox-Golding, Events and Challenges Manager at St Elizabeth Hospice, said: “We cannot wait to join with supporters, as we bring the disco atmosphere to Ipswich.

“This year marks 35 years of St Elizabeth Hospice, so we are keen for everyone to bring their biggest and brightest 1980s disco themed outfits, harking back to the decade when we first opened our doors, to make Midnight Walk 2024 the best yet!"

“With our early bird tickets now available, there is no better time to register and start encouraging friends and family to sponsor you and help you make a difference to your local hospice.”

Last year’s event raised over £160,000 to support the hospice’s vital services.

It will be the 17th Midnight Walk, giving everyone who takes part the chance to party, dress up and raise funds for the hospice, as well as to remember loved ones who are no longer with us.

Midnight Walk 2024 will go past Ipswich Waterfront, The Hold, up Foxhall Road to St Elizabeth Hospice, before returning back to the town, passing Christchurch Park and finishing at Portman Road stadium.
