The Midnight Walk is back for 2026, bigger than ever!

After raising an incredible £42,000 in 2025 with over 321 walkers, we’re excited to make this year’s walk even more special. We’re looking for enthusiastic and dedicated volunteers to help us create an unforgettable night for our participants as they walk the 6-mile and 10-mile routes through Salisbury’s streets at midnight.

Registration Team
Greet participants, check them in, and hand out welcome packs, t-shirts, and glow-in-the-dark accessories. Your friendly face will help set the tone for a magical and memorable night.

Route Marshals
Paired with another volunteer, you will ensure participants stay safe and follow the route. You’ll be a key point of contact, offering encouragement and assistance where needed, helping the walkers feel supported throughout.

Cheer Squad
Stationed at the finish line, you’ll congratulate participants as they finish the walk, handing out medals and celebrating their achievement. Your energy and enthusiasm will make their accomplishment even more special! Plus, you’ll help distribute gift bags to ensure a memorable experience.

Pack-up Crew
After the event concludes, help us take down decorations, pack up equipment, and leave the venue spotless for a smooth closure.

Skills and Qualities We’re Looking For:

• Enthusiasm and a positive attitude
• Good communication and teamwork skills
• A passion for supporting Salisbury Hospice Charity and your community

What You’ll Gain:

• A chance to support a meaningful cause
• The opportunity to meet new people and be part of a vibrant team
• Event experience and transferable skills
• The joy of knowing you’ve made a difference in people’s lives

A volunteer on the Midnight Walk:
“I really enjoyed handing out snacks and water at the half-way stage on the Midnight Walk this year. It was truly inspiring to see how many people of all ages had taken part despite the very changeable weather. A huge thank you too to all the people who organised the walk.”
