Britain's What's On Event Guide
The Kirkwood Starlight Walk
Experience The Kirkwood Starlight Walk – our biggest night of the year!
This year, we've given our flagship fundraiser a new name, and it's more magical than ever. Enjoy all the best elements of The Kirkwood Memory Walk, now with a touch of starlight. Walk under the night sky, remembering loved ones, and creating new memories with friends and family.
Bring your friends and family together to walk under twinkling skies at The Kirkwood Starlight Walk this summer! On the 5th of July, you'll create amazing memories with friends and family as you embark from the John Smith's Stadium, walking either 3, 6 or 10 miles to raise money for patients and families right here in Kirklees.
When you register, you’ll receive your free Starlight Walk T-shirt and a fabulous fundraising pack featuring lots of tips and tricks to help you smash your fundraising target. Whatever your reason for taking part, you’ll be joining hundreds of others for a starlight walk like no other. And you’ll be doing something amazing in aid of a local charity which helps thousands of people every single year.
For over 15 years, walkers have laced up their boots and turned the sleepy streets of Huddersfield into a sea of colour as they walked through the night to raise funds for The Kirkwood. In 2025, we’re raising the stakes to bring you an event that is bigger, brighter and more magical than ever before... but don’t worry we promise there won’t be as many hills this time! Setting off from the John Smith's Stadium at 10pm, with registrations and entertainment from 8pm.
