People taking part in a sponsored walk for a local hospice are being promised an ‘interactive experience’ at Lancaster Castle as part of the event.
Bosses at St John’s Hospice have shared the first phase of their revamped Moonlight Walk on Saturday June 15.
The route this year will see fundraisers heading up to Lancaster Castle, which will be lit up in St John's Hospice green.
The route will also be reversed to include an extra location, where there will be an interactive experience for all participants at the castle itself.

A spokesperson for the hospice said: ‘’This year’s walk will be bigger and better than ever, and everyone is invited to walk in memory of a loved one whilst supporting and celebrating your local hospice.
‘’We’ve got so many exciting ideas in store that we’re revealing them like the phases of the moon.
‘’We’ve given the classic Moonlight Walk route an update, this year we’re setting off from St John’s Hospice and heading up to Lancaster Castle before heading on to Morecambe prom, through to Bolton le Sands and back here to St John’s!
‘’Lancaster and Morecambe will turn green for one night only, representing all the local people who have been touched by St John’s Hospice care.
‘’Lancaster Castle will be looking splendent, illuminated in a glorious green glow! We have plans in store for an interactive experience for all participants to take part in at the castle, but we’re keeping that a secret for now.’’
Participants will receive a T-shirt that they can personalise in memory of someone important to them, as well as gain other opportunities to remember a loved one.
There will be stalls and activities at St John’s from 8pm, including a warm up before the walk sets off at 10pm.
Individual tickets for the event are £20, but using code BEYOND before the end of today 29/02/24 will save 25 per cent.
Each participant is asked to try to raise at least £50 through sponsorship or as a donation to help fund the Hospice’s vital local services.
