Taking place on Thursday 6th April, the Night Glow is a swim after dark, under the rising full ‘pink’ moon.

With lit floats and buoys, the lake at West Country Water Park will be transformed into a spectacle of twinkling lights as brave fundraisers enter the water.

Ellie Wilkinson, Events and Community Officer, RUHX said: “The Night Glow is a fun and beginner friendly event, fully supported by lifeguards, for everyone to experience the benefits of cold water dipping.

“It’s going to be a magical night with dippers lighting up the lake for Royal United Hospitals Bath. This is a chance do something truly unique to raise funds for our patients and staff.”

The West Country Water Park has indoor changing rooms and toilets, including accessible facilities, providing a warm space to stay safe after exposure to the elements.

After the dip, those taking part will be able to celebrate with a hot drink in the café, with the opportunity to meet like-minded people.

The Night Glow event is open to those 16 and over, costs £15 to register and participants are asked to raise a minimum of £75.

In return, RUHX will provide dippers with a branded swimming cap, t-shirt, a hot drink and fundraising support.
