Saturday 21 June 2025

You may have received an email a few months ago saying the 5th July, please disregard this! We’ve decided on our new date of 21 June – so we don’t clash with Worthing Pride which is happening on 5 July. This way you don’t have to choose between which event to take part in!

Registration for Night to Remember closes on Saturday 21 June Online entries may close earlier to allow enough time for our team to process all registrations. 

Yes, although we suggest you register prior to the night to ensure that you have all the necessary information and to relieve our registrations desk on the night.  

Registration on the night will be £30 per person.

We suggest that you undertake as much training as possible especially if you are planning on walking the 15-mile route. Whilst the terrain is predominantly flat and paved, due to the length, the route can be somewhat physically demanding, and you need to be able to complete the challenge that you have signed up for.

If you are concerned or would like training advice, please get in touch: events@stbh.org.uk.

T-shirts will be available for collection on the night at the venue.

Please use the size guide on the website when picking your t-shirt size. If you are unsure, we suggest you size up for comfort. Whilst we will have stock for people to swap sizes, please be aware that this stock will be limited, and queues may be long.

Yes, the wackier the better! Be sure to smile for the camera!

No, unfortunately dogs are not allowed at this event.

Walker numbers are to be collected on the day of event.

Periodically you will receive information via email regarding fundraising support and everything you need to know about the event. This will include all on-the-day information.

What if I don’t have an email address?

Please contact our supporter care team who will be able to assist you with your enquiry.

It is imperative that you wear comfortable, flat walking shoes and appropriate socks for the walk. Please wear comfortable clothes, with plenty of layers to help you maintain a good body temperature. Unfortunately, we are dependent on the English summer, so don’t forget you may need wet weather gear!

Yes, the more the merrier, lots of our walkers participate as a team. If you decide to raise your sponsor money as a group, please let us know so we can collate the funds and give you a group total.

There will be water available at the beginning of the event located in the main hall.

Water and light refreshments will also be located at the refreshment stops (10 and 15-mile routes only) we suggest you fuel up before arriving or bring plenty of snacks with you. Again, please take all rubbish home with you.

Yes, your family are welcome to come along to support you.

If they will be staying for the event, why not suggest that they volunteer?

We cannot run this event without the support of our incredible volunteers. We have plenty of roles available for all experiences and abilities.

We are reliant on the great British Summer! If it is raining, the walk will continue with a smile on our faces.

If you hurt yourself, please report to your nearest Marshal who will call into the control centre and will deploy the safety minibus and a medic to collect you. If you hurt yourself and cannot report

to the nearest marshal point, please flag down another participant who can alert a marshal on your behalf.

If you cannot complete the walk, please report to your nearest marshal who will inform the control centre to deploy a safety minibus to collect you.

Of course! If you need to be picked up before completing the challenge you will still get a medal.

When you arrive, please park in carpark and follow the signs to the event village. Here, you will be directed where to go to register and take advantage of the pre-walk entertainment and warm up.

Of course, we understand things happen. Unfortunately, your registration fee is non-refundable and non-transferable.

St Barnabas House and Night to Remember are trying to take responsibility for the wonderful world we live in and aim to stamp out the use of single use plastics at our events. We are challenging our suppliers, as well as thinking about what materials we are bringing into the event, helping to make a positive change for 2025.

What is single use plastic?

Single use plastic or disposable plastics are used only once before they are thrown away or recycled. Example items: plastic bags, straws, coffee stirrers, water bottles and most food packaging.

How will this affect me?

You will need to bring your own torch and water bottle with you on the night. Water bottles and throwaway torches will not be available on the night. However, don’t worry, we will make sure there are plenty of re-fill water points at the refreshment stops located on the route map for you to top up your bottles throughout the route to stay hydrated!

Following our December participant survey, we have created three new routes for you which we are sure you will love.

• 5 miles – Sunset Stroller. An accessible 5-mile family route for younger strollers to experience a charity challenge event for the first time.
• 10 miles – Moonlight Marcher. A beautiful ten-mile experience offering time to reflect, catch up and reconnect.
• 15 miles – Starlight Strider. Our flagship 15-mile Night to Remember challenge that will guide you around Worthing and beyond.

All routes will start and finish at Durrington High School and will meander via our much-loved sparkle surprise.

All routes can all be accessed by wheelchair users and have step free access.

There is one section of the route that isn’t paved, however there are alternative paths if needed. Please make your own judgement as to whether this would be suitable for you. If you have any further questions, please get in touch so that we can discuss this with you further.

There will be refreshment stops along the 10 and 15 mile route.

You may wish to bring your own refreshments. Please can we encourage you to avoid single use plastic and to take any rubbish home with you.

Your safety is of utmost importance to us, so we ask that all walkers must be back at Durrington High School by 2.30am. If you are not back, we will collect you by minibus and return you to the venue. To keep you safe we ask that you sign back in once at the venue once you have completed your walk. Anyone that does not return by this time, will receive a phone call, and if we cannot get hold of you the matter be passed onto the local police.

For your safety there will be a lead walker for each route, please do not overtake this person as they are there to guide you. We have also allocated a back walker for each route for the duration of the event to be there for anyone that requires assistance.

The purpose of this walk is to have fun and raise money for a brilliant cause. Whilst we support those who are using this event as a walking challenge, we encourage you to pick the walking distance that you feel confident that you could complete in the above timeframe. Please consider all walking in your party and ensure that they are all confident on the route selected.

Yes, please inform the team before the big day.

There are multiple Marshals located on route wearing a St Barnabas House t-shirt and high vis jackets. Please approach them if you need anything – they are there to help and keep you safe along the route.

There is no minimum sponsorship for Night to Remember, however, we encourage

participants to raise at least £125 towards the fantastic service we provide at the hospice to help us smash our £70,000 event target.

• £62 could mean a family in crisis receive a visit from a nurse during the night, providing symptom control and emotional support.
• £170 is enough to give a patient a whole night of care at home, meaning they’re comfortable and cared for and their families get a full night’s sleep.
• £237 could fund a night of care for a patient on the hospice ward, getting help managing their symptoms and returning home more comfortable.

Every pound you raise helps support local people and their families and directly benefits St Barnabas House hospice services. Thank you for your ongoing support.

Night to Remember is a fundraising event and all monies raised will help to provide the local community with the vital care that they need, either in the comfort of their own homes or at the hospice. Remember your registration fee only covers the cost of the event.

By fundraising, you’re making a real difference for our hospice and the people we support. Every pound you raise helps provide essential care, comfort, and support for patients and their families when they need it most.

Your fundraising also:

• Honours loved ones – Many people take part in memory of someone special, making it a meaningful way to celebrate their life.
• Inspires others – Your efforts encourage friends, family, and colleagues to support a great cause.
• Keeps our services free – The funds you raise help ensure our hospice care remains free for those who need it.

Plus, fundraising can be fun! Whether you’re walking, hosting an event, or setting a personal challenge, every effort helps us continue our vital work. Would you like help with ideas or setting up a fundraising page? Let us know!

Plus, new for 2024, when you raise £50 by 5th June, you’ll receive an event-branded buff as a thank-you!

But don’t stop there—every pound you raise makes a real difference. Keep going and see how much of an impact you can make!

What you are doing is incredible. By going the extra mile and fundraising, you are directly supporting the lives of local people and their families. Your support will help them make the choice that is right for them and help individuals and their families at a time when they need it most.

We appreciate that fundraising during a cost-of-living crisis can be difficult, and it is hard for a lot of us to scrape together even a few pounds. We want you to know that we understand these difficulties, and we are here to lend a hand.

We’ve got loads of new and innovative ideas to get you on your way to fundraising success. A good place to start is the fundraising hints and tips.
