“It’s time to try defying gravity
I think I’ll try defying gravity
And you can’t pull me down”

This September 21, defy gravity like Elphaba or be popular like Glinda when you join the Willow Wood Hospice Walk. Happening at Stamford Park, Ashton-under-Lyne, walk, dance, and skip your way through the beautiful 5k route in your best Wicked! outfit as you hum “Dancing Through Life.” This is an event for all ages so grab your friends and family members to join this fun walk. Funds raised from this event will go to Willow Wood Hospice, “an adult Hospice providing specialist palliative care for patients with life limiting illnesses” free of charge.

Join us on Sunday 21st September 2025 at Stamford Park, Ashton-under-Lyne for the Willow Wood Hospice Walk! Whether you walk, skip, or dance your way around our scenic 5K route, you’ll be helping to raise vital funds for Willow Wood Hospice.

Get Involved – Defy Gravity for a Great Cause! This year’s theme is Wicked! Dress as your favourite character from the musical or film – think Elphaba, Glinda, Fiyero, or even the Wizard of Oz!

Not into fancy dress? No problem! Show your support by wearing green for Team Elphaba or pink for Team Glinda.

Themes not your thing? Simply come along in comfortable attire and take part in this special event to support local hospice care.

Did you know that it takes 200 muscles to make one step? It is for this reason that walking is considered a full-body workout. Get your exercise in as you help patients with life-limiting illnesses get the care they need. Books your tickets to the Willow Wood Hospice Walk here now.
