Moonlight Memory Walk Devon 2024

Walk and fundraise in memory of your loved one 

By taking part in Moonlight Memory Walk and fundraising in memory of your loved one, you’ll be raising vital funds for families like Rhiannon’s 

Rhiannon and her family were supported by Little Bridge House at the end of Fred's life

My son Fred passed away at 2 months old as, at birth, his brain was starved of oxygen, causing a significant brain injury and severe epilepsy. Little Bridge House provided hospice care for him, taking care of Fred during his end of life, and made a horrific situation as good as it could be. We are forever grateful for the memories we made, and the kindness shown to us.

We recommend taking the candle bags with you on the route, to help light your way and to create a shining trail of lights reflecting your loved ones no longer with us.  

After a short safety briefing, we will begin the 3k Moonlight Memory Walk. 

Please note that only those registered for the event and showing a walker number will be able to gain access into the event village on the night. Unfortunately, dogs are not permitted to attend. Don’t forget to bring with you a torch or headtorch, bottle of water, comfortable shoes, a warm coat and your fancy dress if you feel like dressing up!  

Parking is available at Powderham Castle.
