Pyjama party in the heart of Bath

2025 is all about pyjamas, as we host the biggest PJ party in town! Get into the bedtime spirit by snuggling into your own pyjamas, onesies and dressing gowns or how about you upcycle some gorgeous nightwear from one of our Dorothy House shops?

The Midnight Walk is for people aged 12+ and starts at the Bath Pavilion. Arrival is from 9pm, with time to enjoy food and drinks, plus the fun and funky warm-up with Cheryl Sprinkler from Mojo Moves. Our 10K walkers will set off at 10.30pm, followed by our 5K walkers heading out at 10.45pm, enjoying the sights of Bath on a wonderful summer’s night!

All the walkers will arrive back at Bath Pavilion around midnight, where we’ll celebrate your amazing success!  The event finishes at 1am.

Raising vital funds for our Hospice at Home service

This year, the money raised from the Midnight Walk will fund our Hospice at Home service. 10pm is the time that our amazing Hospice at Home team start their critical shift caring for patients in their own homes. Around this time, you’ll be starting your warm-up, so you can really think of the amazing Dorothy House staff who are putting in their essential night shift to support care in our community.

We’re asking each walker to aim to raise a minimum of £50 for Dorothy House. This could fund two hours of overnight care, provided by one of our compassionate, skilled and experienced Hospice at Home carers.

What your money supports

  • The money raised by the Midnight Walk will go towards funding Dorothy House’s essential Hospice at Home service.
  • This service is essential to patients, as they get the specialist care and support needed to enable them to spend their final time in the peace of their own home, surrounded by family. Their families also receive emotional support and hours of much-needed rest, giving them time and space to look after themselves properly.
  • This crucial service costs in excess of £2.6 million to fund annually, which equates to over a staggering £50,000 every week.
  • One hour of a carer’s time on a night shift is £24.18.  So if you aim to raise the wonderful amount of £50 from the Midnight Walk, you will have been incredible by more than covering the cost of two hours of vital patient care.
