Starlight Walk will be emotional for some of Hall's staff

STAFF from Capesthorne Hall will stroll round the beautiful grounds where they work as part of the Starlight Walk next Thursday (May 15).

The East Cheshire Hospice event will be an emotional occasion for many, including Lynn Newton, the venue's business manager.

Lynn bravely took part in last year’s walk, just 10 days after losing her 85-year-old mum Aileen to cancer.

Lynn said: “I lost my mum very quickly and the walk was good for me to do.

“I debated whether I'd be able to do it, but I needed to be around people. It felt like a fitting and poignant event given the timing.

“Mum was in a hospital in the Lakes but requested to receive palliative care at home, so we used Hospice @Home which was an amazing service.
