Starlight Stroll on 13th September 2025

Join us on Eastbourne seafront this September for our much-loved sponsored walk, under the stars.

Take on our traditional 5-mile walk, or choose our 10-mile route for a bigger challenge. Whichever route you choose, there will be the chance to lay a special lantern in the Italian Gardens to remember a loved one who has died, or simply to reflect on the work of the hospice.

Whether you are a seasoned stroller, or this will be your first, we can’t wait to welcome you to walk with us beside the sea, light up Eastbourne promenade and help raise vital funds for local hospice care.

Early bird entry is £15 for adults and £13 for children (under 16s) until 31st July. Under 5s come for free. Slight savings can be made when booking groups of 5 or 10 people. Prices will increase from 1st August.

Every walker will receive a paper lantern to decorate, as well as a Starlight Stroll T-shirt and a commemorative medal.

How it works

You’re just a few steps away from joining us for a special evening to remember on Saturday 13th September, whilst raising funds for vital hospice care. Here’s what you need to do!

1. Register

Register yourself, as well as family and friends – it’s quick and easy to do! Just enter your details, pick your t-shirt size and pay at the checkout.

2. Raise funds

Your fundraising page is created during registration and is simple and easy to use. Whether you fundraise individually or in a team, we’ll be here to help you reach your goal.

3. Stroll

Whether you take on the 5 mile route or the 10 mile route, take the stroll at your own pace. Take your time to reflect and remember when you lay your lantern. Stroll back and get your medal.

What happens on the night?

Starting at Princes Park, Eastbourne, we’ll walk along the promenade, beside the sea, with each route eventually heading for the beautifully lit Italian Gardens, at Holywell. The stars will be out, and you may be able to see the moon rising over the sea. Here, you can lay a special lantern in the garden to remember a loved one who is no longer with you.

Then, stroll back to Princes Park to be welcomed by some wonderful volunteers who will hand you your Starlight Stroll finisher’s medal. You’re then invited to stay for supper and a cuppa, or even something fizzy, in our alfresco dining area.
