The annual celebratory walk has long held a special place in the local community’s heart, with many returning year after year to walk in memory of loved ones and raise funds for Arthur Rank Hospice Charity.

This year there is a 10 or five-mile route to choose from and registration is now open. A 20 per cent discount is available for anyone signing up before midnight on 16 April.

The Charity’s Matron of Clinical Services, Carly Wills, said: “I love taking part in Star Shine! It’s great fun and an uplifting way to remember and celebrate the lives of loved ones. It also gives those of us who work for the Charity an opportunity to remember the patients we care for. It’s really inclusive with a wheelchair friendly route. We welcome adults and children over 10 years of age (with a paying adult) and dogs outside on a lead!

“It’s always an amazing atmosphere you can feel the energy and passion of everyone taking part, including our incredible volunteers who help on the night.”

Star Shine Night Walk starts at 8.00pm from Cambridge Rugby Club, Volac Park, Granchester Road CB3 9ED.

A Star Radio DJ will be getting the crowd warmed up with a selection of great music before they set off. Walkers are encouraged to dress up and accessorize to set the city aglow.

Last year more than 300 participants and 80 volunteers were involved helping raise over £34,000, from a combination of registration fees and much welcome participant sponsorship.

There is a 20 per cent discount available until midnight on 16 April – £14 adults and £7.60 children aged 10-15. Following which prices will be £17.50 and £9.50. Registration closes at midday on 12 May, unless capacity is reached earlier.

Alternatively, if you can donate your time to support as a volunteer the charity would love to hear from you. Please email fundraising@arhc.org.uk
