Twilight Memory Walk 2026
Event Overview
Previously known as ‘Twilight Walk’, Twilight Memory Walk is back once again in 2026 on the 12th of September. This 10km walk is a great chance for individuals and families to remember loved ones, as well as a chance to meet others, come together as a community, have a laugh, and a boogie!
2026 Twilight Memory walk features the usual iconic moments, like starting in the DCBL Stadium or warming up to some up beat tunes, but we are also hoping to add some new elements to the walk this year – giving you more moments to remember loved ones throughout the walk.
We hope you can join us in walking for those who walk beside our hearts and together, make a difference in their memory.

Why should you join Twilight Memory Walk 2026?
Halton Haven Hospice Memory Walk is an opportunity to remember loved ones and make a difference in their memory. This year we are saying ‘Walking for those who walk beside our hearts – together making a difference.’ It is a great chance to get together as a community, gives you space to talk, reflect and remember memories, or simply have a chat and a laugh with your friends and family. Although this is a memory walk, we encourage people to get dressed up, have a laugh and a boogie along the way – making it a great event for the whole family.
The ticket profits and fundraising donations go towards ensuring that Halton Haven Hospice can continue providing the best palliative and end-of-life care in our community. Every year we need to raise an additional £1.5 million to bridge the gap between the funding we receive, and the care those within our community deserve. This is not possible without the incredible support and generosity of our community at events such as this one, and every participant whether they take part or fundraise as well, is helping to make a difference.
We look forward to meeting previous walkers and new on the 12th of September. Together, we can make a difference. If you have any questions regarding Twilight Memory Walk 2026 email fundraising@haltonhaven.co.uk or call 01928 712 728.
