Wales (Wales Times) August 21, 2026 — Hope House Tŷ Gobaith has launched a new family-friendly Midnight Pyjama Walk to raise funds for the children’s hospices and support local families caring for children with life-threatening conditions.

The 7km sponsored walk will take place along Colwyn Bay promenade on Saturday, 19 September 2026. It will begin and end at Parc Eirias stadium, which will provide parking and access to facilities for participants.

The fundraiser is designed to combine community participation with financial support for hospice services. Entrants will be invited to complete the walk in their pyjamas, Oodies or onesies, while raising sponsorship for Hope House Tŷ Gobaith.

According to the report published by uk/local/wrexham/">Wrexham.com, entry costs £15 for adults and £10 for children aged under 16. Each participant must raise a minimum of £50 in sponsorship.

What will participants receive?

Every entrant will receive a light-up pair of space boppers to wear during the walk. Participants will also be given a complimentary tasty treat and a bespoke pair of fluffy night socks.

The organisers are presenting the event as an evening suitable for families and community groups. The pyjama theme is intended to create a light-hearted atmosphere, while also drawing attention to the disrupted sleep that many parents experience when caring for a seriously ill child.

Refreshments will be available to buy from Coffi & Vinyl at Parc Eirias. The stadium location will also offer parking and facilities before and after the walk.

Why has Hope House Tŷ Gobaith launched the walk?

The fundraiser aims to generate vital income for Hope House Tŷ Gobaith’s children’s hospice services. The organisation supports local families who are caring for children with life-threatening conditions.

Laura Ellis-Bartlett, the event organiser, said the Midnight Pyjama Walk was returning after a 12-year break. As reported by Wrexham.com, Ellis-Bartlett described the event as “just such a giggle” while urging participants to remember the families who use the hospice’s services.

Ellis-Bartlett said that families supported by the charity often do not get a full night’s sleep because of the demands of caring for a child with a life-threatening condition.

She added that one late night for participants could help fund a respite stay, allowing parents of seriously ill children to receive valuable rest.

The event’s fundraising message therefore links the overnight theme with one of the practical forms of support provided to families. Although walkers will take part in a single evening event, the money raised is intended to contribute to continuing care and respite services.

Who is supporting the Midnight Pyjama Walk?

Colwyn Bay-based recruitment specialists Supertemps are sponsoring the Midnight Pyjama Walk. The company is expected to attend the event alongside the hospice’s Tŷ Gobaith Tiger mascot.

Sarah Ellwood from Supertemps said the company was delighted to partner with Tŷ Gobaith on the event. As reported by Wrexham.com, Ellwood said the charity was close to the hearts of Supertemps and the wider local community in Colwyn Bay and beyond.

Ellwood said the company was looking forward to attending in pyjamas and helping raise funds so that more local families could receive the care and support they need.

The event is also being supported by Aykroyd & Sons, a pyjama manufacturer based in Bala. The company is supporting the fundraiser as a Gold Partner.

The involvement of local businesses gives the event backing from organisations based in the surrounding area. Supertemps will be present on the night, while the support from Aykroyd & Sons connects the fundraiser directly with the pyjama theme.

Where will the walk take place?

The Midnight Pyjama Walk will start and finish at Parc Eirias stadium in Colwyn Bay. The 7km route will run along Colwyn Bay promenade.

The organisers have identified Parc Eirias as the event base because it offers parking, facilities and a clear meeting point for entrants. Participants will be able to return to the stadium after completing the route.

Coffi & Vinyl will provide refreshments available for purchase at the stadium. The presence of food and drink facilities is intended to support participants and families attending the event.

The route and event arrangements make the fundraiser accessible to people who want to take part as individuals, families or community groups. However, entrants will need to follow the event’s registration requirements and meet the minimum sponsorship target.

How much does entry cost?

Adult entry costs £15, while entry for children under 16 costs £10. In addition to the entry fee, every participant must raise at least £50 in sponsorship.

The sponsorship requirement is separate from the ticket price. People considering taking part should therefore allow for both the cost of registration and the fundraising commitment when planning to join the walk.

The event’s fundraising model means that participants are not simply buying a place in a community walk. They are also being asked to seek donations from friends, relatives, colleagues or other supporters.

The money raised will contribute to Hope House Tŷ Gobaith’s work with children and families. The organisers have emphasised that the support helps provide care, respite and assistance to families facing serious medical circumstances.

What should people wear?

Participants are encouraged to wear nightwear for the Midnight Pyjama Walk. Suitable clothing could include traditional pyjamas, a warm Oodie or a comical onesie.

The organisers have described the clothing theme as part of the fun of the evening. Participants can choose their own style while taking part in the sponsored event.

Because the walk will take place in the evening and along the coast, people attending should consider the weather and choose clothing appropriate for outdoor conditions. The event’s distinctive accessories will include the light-up space boppers supplied to entrants.

The organisers have also said that participants will receive fluffy night socks. These items are intended to reinforce the event’s night-time theme and provide a keepsake for those taking part.

How can people register?

People can sign up for the Midnight Pyjama Walk through the Hope House Tŷ Gobaith event page. Registration details, fundraising information and event instructions are available through the charity’s website.

Anyone planning to attend should check the latest information provided by the organisers before travelling. This includes confirming the meeting arrangements, route details, timing, sponsorship requirements and any updates issued before the event.

The event is intended to be family-friendly, but parents and guardians remain responsible for deciding whether the route and evening conditions are suitable for children in their care.

Background: What is Hope House Tŷ Gobaith?

Hope House Tŷ Gobaith is associated with children’s hospice care and support for families dealing with life-threatening conditions. The charity’s services are intended to assist children and their relatives through care, respite and wider family support.

The Midnight Pyjama Walk is returning after a 12-year hiatus, according to event organiser Laura Ellis-Bartlett, as reported by Wrexham.com. Its return gives local residents and businesses an opportunity to support the hospice through a public fundraising event.

The event also reflects the role of sponsored community activities in helping charities raise money and awareness. Participants contribute through their entry fees, sponsorship fundraising and attendance, while local businesses provide financial or practical backing.

Prediction: How could the walk affect local families and participants?

The Midnight Pyjama Walk is likely to give local residents a structured way to support Hope House Tŷ Gobaith while taking part in a family-oriented community event. If the fundraiser attracts strong participation and meets or exceeds its sponsorship target, it could provide additional income for respite and support services used by local families.

For parents caring for seriously ill children, the most direct potential benefit would come through the charity’s continued ability to provide care and respite. The size of that effect will depend on the number of entrants, the sponsorship raised and how the funds are allocated by Hope House Tŷ Gobaith.

For participants, the event offers a low-distance sponsored walk with a clear theme and a local route. The £50 minimum sponsorship means that joining also requires active fundraising beyond the entry fee.

The event may also strengthen cooperation among local organisations, including Supertemps, Aykroyd & Sons and Hope House Tŷ Gobaith. Its community impact will depend on public attendance, donations and continued support for the hospice after the walk.
