Manchester Foundation Trust Charity - Lantern Walk

• Twilight walk gives young fundraisers and families opportunity to support MFT hospitals
• Registration includes free lantern, worry pouch and compass for every child taking part
• Heaton Park event will also feature two accessible route options with nature spotter sheets, food and drink and entertainment

This November, families are invited to experience Manchester’s Heaton Park in a new light with Manchester Foundation Trust Charity’s sponsored Lantern Walk.

The family friendly event will take place on Saturday 9 November, 2pm to 6pm, with families walking around North Manchester’s Heaton Park, to help fundraise for Manchester University NHS Foundation Trust hospitals. As the evening draws in, children can light their way with a free lantern, creating a twinkling light spectacle.

Families can choose one of two carefully curated, fully accessible routes around the park (two and five kilometres), with registered participants involved receiving a free lantern, worry pouch and compass. Spotter sheets will also be available for children to interact with their surroundings along the route, taking in the sights, smells and sounds of the park.

Free family entertainment at the event will include The Night Creatures band, stilt walkers and young Manchester musician Jacey-Mae. Food and drink will also be available, as well as prizes for top fundraisers.
