MOONLIGHT WALK 10TH ANNIVERSARY ‘To be out of this world’
This year we have special anniversary celebrations which will include a party-style send off for walkers from the Westgate Leisure Centre (from 9pm to 10.30pm) on Saturday 5 May with a light show and music from Spirit FM, compered by DJ Ian Crouch. The star attraction will be the stunning Show Globe, featuring special guest star, Nikki Kennett, who will glide dramatically and gracefully through the crowds.
Walkers can also expect spectacles and surprises around the 5 mile and 10 mile Moonlight Walk routes including 3 ‘Celebration Stations’…
• A ‘Moonlight Serenade’ Station - featuring top singer, Amy Fuller, of BBC fame, a cabaret and opera star, who will be singing moonlight and ‘love and romance ‘ songs in a light-festooned station for walkers as they begin their Moonlight challenge.
• A ‘Starlight Walk’ Station – a ‘starlit enterprise’, along Broyle Road, creating a starry spectacle close to the Chichester Festival Theatre. Trees will be decorated with lights and magical performers will entertain, performing circus skills dressed in luminous costumes.
• A ‘Man on the Moon’ Station – not just one step for mankind, but lots of steps on the Moonlight Walk! Touching down from about 11pm this station will honour the endeavours of space travellers, and in particular, the US astronauts who landed on the moon back in 1969. Spacemen will be welcoming the 10 milers at the Friary Lane /Chichester District Council Car Park to a Moonlanding film projection. The exploits of the town’s very own ‘space travellers’ Major Tim Peake and Sky at Night presenter, Patrick Moore will also be celebrated. There will be some surprise guests as well so watch this space!
