As walkers get ready for this year's event on Saturday, here's a reminder of last year's Sparkle Night Walk in Chesterfield for Ashgate Hospice.

A record number of people will take part in this weekend’s Sparkle Night Walk in aid of Ashgate Hospice.

The 10km fundraiser has attracted 3,337 participants, 237 more than last year when £317,671 was collected in sponsorship.

Wearing pink T-shirts and flashing bunny ears, the walkers will set off from Chesterfield Football Club’s car park on Saturday, June 22.

Here’s a reminder of last year’s event.
