The annual fundraiser is the largest women’s event in Bath, and it provides a chance for the community to come together, celebrate, and remember loved ones while raising money for local hospice care.
The event promises to be a night of fun and laughter as women aged 12 and over come together with their friends and family, including mothers, daughters, aunts, grandmas, and sisters.
Participants will meet at the Bath Pavilion, where they can expect a carnival atmosphere complete with glitter, feathers, and sequins.
Starting at midnight, the 5km walk will take participants on a route through the city, where they can experience the beauty of Bath at night.
The walk will conclude with party celebrations at the Pavilion until 2am.
Dorothy House is asking each participant to raise a minimum of £50 in sponsorship or make a donation in lieu of sponsorship.
The money raised will fund vital patient care for people with life-limiting illnesses and their families across the local community.
Heather Cox, who has participated in the walk, said: “The Women’s Midnight Walk is a really nice celebratory way of remembering someone that has benefitted from the work of Dorothy House while supporting the charity.
“You come away from the night feeling very emotional, very humble, very proud, and very grateful to be there.”

Dorothy House also welcomes volunteers to help on the night; interested individuals can contact Clare Way at [email protected].
