Join us on Saturday 17 October for the Compton Care Sunset Stroll – a magical evening where we come together to celebrate life, love and community in the beautiful setting of Weston Park.
This uplifting event is all about walking side by side with friends, family and fellow supporters, sharing smiles and making memories all while raising vital funds for local people who need our care and support.
Whether you’re walking for someone special, marking their memory in your own way, or simply embracing time together, the Sunset Stroll is a chance to celebrate the people who mean the most to you.
Our Sunset Stroll is open to all – everyone is welcome to be part of this special evening, whether or not you have a connection to Compton Care.
Step into a relaxed and uplifting evening as you stroll through Weston Park’s beautiful gardens and woodland, bathed in the soft glow of sunset.
Soak up the vibrant atmosphere as you walk alongside others, share stories, enjoy the moment and light up the night with glow sticks – creating memories to cherish.
The Sunset Stroll event village opens at 3pm, with two distances to choose from:
- 5km route – a gentle, scenic stroll through gardens and woodland (starts at 5pm)
- 10km route – an extended loop for those who want to go a little further (starts at 4pm)
Take in sweeping Capability Brown landscapes, wander peaceful woodland paths and enjoy the beauty of historic parkland before heading back to the event village to receive your commemorative Sunset Stroll medal.
As the evening unfolds and the sun begins to set, enjoy a relaxed walk with family and friends – a time to connect, celebrate, and appreciate moments that matter.
Your host for the evening, Niel Jackson, will keep the energy high with music, games and entertainment for all the family.
You can also nominate a song for our special playlist – whether it’s a favourite tune or one that brings back happy memories, helping to soundtrack a truly meaningful and joyful evening.
There will be plenty to enjoy at the event village, including:
- Our ‘Shop at The Hall’ where you can browse some beautiful preloved pieces
- Commemorative Sunset Stroll T-shirts
- Delicious hot food and drinks
- A raffle and tombola
After your walk, relax, refuel and continue the evening with friends and family in a warm and welcoming setting.
For those quieter moments, our specialist Bereavement and Counselling team will be available if you’d like any support.
