Poole hospice sunset walk for spring

The event organised by Forest Holme Hospice Charity takes place from 6pm on Friday 17 April, starting at Branksome Dene Chine.

Looking towards spring — and it’s not that far away — local people have the chance to join a new event in memory of loved ones.

Forest Holme Hospice Charity’s Sunset Walk will be held on Friday 17 April.

Starting at Branksome Dene Chine, walkers can choose between a 5km or 8km route, both of which take in the natural beauty of the coastline, with views across Sandbanks and Poole Harbour as the sun sets.

The event is open to anyone, regardless of any personal connection to Forest Holme. Following the walk, participants will be welcomed back to the Branksome Dene Room, where pizzas, kindly provided by Pizza with Love, will be served alongside refreshments. Each participant will also receive an event T-shirt and commemorative medal.

Claire Cooper, events and challenges manager at Forest Holme Hospice Charity, said: “We are delighted to be launching the Sunset Walk as a new event that brings people together to remember loved ones while enjoying our beautiful coastline at sunset.

“There is no minimum fundraising target, as we want people to feel comfortable taking part and to enjoy the experience of walking together. We look forward to welcoming our community to share this special evening with us.”

The Sunset Walk starts at 6pm, with tickets priced at £15 for adults, £10 for children, and free entry for under-threes. An early bird code, NEWYEAR26, is currently available for a 10 per cent discount before the end of January.
