The MoonWalk Area is in the pink…
The MoonWalk London 2025 takes place under the stars, there will be flags, sparkling lights, and even the stage will be ablaze with that well-known MoonWalk spirit and fun!
Plus, we have a few surprises up our sleeves which we will reveal in due course… It’s going to be as incredible as ever and we can’t wait to celebrate with you at our MoonWalk… Bring it on!
How and When to Enter the MoonWalk…
As you will probably be organising your transport, we thought it would be helpful to give you some information about how to get into the MoonWalk and the starting times!
When you receive your pack (you may have already, but some are still on there way), amongst other things, you will receive your Walker Number. This number is unique to you so it must not be passed on to anyone else. The colour of this number will let you know what time you should arrive and the time of your Start Time. As you reach the entrance to the MoonWalk on the night you will be given a Wristband which must match the colour of your Walker Number, which you will need to put on your wrist before you can pass through into the Arena.
A little closer to the event, we will email you all the information you need to have a fantastic MoonWalk!
It is worth mentioning now so that you can plan ahead, that only 1 small bag per person will be allowed into MoonWalk Arena. This must hold all your essential items that can be stowed overnight whilst you walk. The bag must not exceed 40cm x 55cm in size. More information on this will be shared closer to the night.
Arrival and Start Times…
Arrival Times: The Event Gates will open at 8.00pm (20.00) to give those wanting to buy food from our Food Village, a chance to get in a little earlier.
- Pink and Blue Walker Numbers please arrive between 8.30pm (20.30) – 9.15pm (21.15)

Please be aware that if you are planning transport the Entrance Gate will close at 10.15pm (22.15). More information will be in your digital Event Pack which will be coming soon.
Start Times: Local authorities and our Health and Safety Advisor will confirm on the night when the route is ready to accept walkers so these times are only a guide and subject to change

Our Moonwalk’s just got dramatic… Are you ready to sing along? This year our MoonWalk theme is the Wonderful World of MUSICALS!

Clothes and shoes
Make sure you wear the right clothes. From the inside out, wear breathable layers, not too many. Possibly a base layer and light polar fleece as you will heat up as you walk. Make sure you have a waterproof and windproof jacket with a hood, and if necessary waterproof trousers.
If like me you suffer from cold hands gloves are essential, as our extremities can really feel the cold, even if the rest of you is warm. Try using a small reusable heat pad in each glove.
Carry a water bottle with you at all times. If cold water in the winter isn’t for you, I recommend adding mint or fresh ginger and hot water to make a really comforting drink. Remember to sip little and often rather than gulp it all down.
A buff or scarf over your mouth can help especially when the temperature drops. Given that we lose 7 – 10% of our heat through our head, I also recommend wearing a pull on beanie that you can then pull your jacket hood over the top of, if you need to. Finally, don’t forget lip salve it’s a must when it’s cold.
But, we’re all different, getting the right combination for you is vital. Overheating and then having cold sweat next to your body becomes really uncomfortable and very unpleasant in winter. If you’re not sure, take a light day pack that you can carry either an extra layer, or discard clothing if you need to.
When it comes to your feet, no matter what terrain you are walking it is best to have Gore-tex of waterproof trainers, trail shoes or walking boots, to avoid having wet feet.
If you have the right clothing to hand, winter walking can be exhilarating whatever the weather and look at the benefits!
Boosting your immune system
Because being active boosts your immune system and makes it work harder, in turn it decreases your chances of catching colds and other winter viruses.
Release stress and improve your mood
If you are someone who suffers the winter blues or SAD as it is known, then a brisk walk could be just the answer to get your endorphins or ‘happy hormones’ working. When the wind is blowing or the temperature drops, it can be very tempting to stay cosy inside. But, walking outside even for 15 minutes can help blow away the cobwebs as the old saying goes, and have a profound impact on your mood and wellbeing.
Burn calories
Because your body’s metabolism will have to work harder to keep warm, you will burn more calories. At the same time, by increasing your heart rate and turning your walk into an aerobic workout you’re supporting your heart health… Just keep an eye on the warming hot chocolate at the end of your walk!
Have you got the right shoes?
Whether you’re Walking or Volunteering if you are considering buying some walking shoes make sure you check out our top tips on finding the right shoe for you.
