Cransley Hospice Trust Invite You To SPARKLE!
The Cransley Hospice Trust Sparkle Walk is BACK on Saturday 20th June 2026 – and it’s set to be bigger, brighter and more dazzling than ever!
Join the charity on the Summer Solstice weekend for a magical evening of sparkle, celebration and community spirit. As the sun begins to set, you’ll party your way through the streets of Kettering on our unforgettable 6km walk – all while raising vital funds to support local people and families who rely on Cransley Hospice Trust’s end of life care and support.


You’ll pass local landmarks including Market Square and Cransley Hospice, cheered on by friendly marshals, supporters and fellow walkers along the way. The route will also take you by the Cransley Hospice Trust Charity Shop for those looking to shop their way to the finish line!
With music, laughter and camaraderie all around you, the miles will fly by.


Sarah Caldwell, Community Events Fundraiser at Cransley Hospice Trust said:
“We’re so excited to bring Sparkle Walk back to Kettering for another fabulously fun-filled evening! Thanks to support from our headline sponsor, York, Ward & Rowlatt, this year will be bigger and better than ever! There really is no better way to spend a Saturday night.
