The final call has been issued for people wanting to take part in this year’s Star Trekk walk for Queenscourt Hospice!
Southport will become a sea of yellow this Friday (8th May 2026) as supporters of the charity take part in a fun 10k walk that starts and ends at Adventure Coast Southport.
A Queenscourt Hospice spokesperson said: “It’s the final call – tickets close tomorrow! “This is your last chance to be part of Star Trekk 2026.

In April, Queenscourt Hospice announced that it will be reducing its in-patient ward from ten to five beds, as it continues to face financial uncertainty.
The news comes just four weeks after the hospice stated that it was being forced to consider reducing the vital services it provides for patients, as it continues to operate with a £2 million deficit.
The need for people to come out and support Queenscourt’s fundraising efforts is greater than ever, as our hospice marks 35 years since it was officially opened by Princess Diana in 1991.
Queenscourt Hospice is a local charity that provides support for the people of West Lancashire, Southport and Formby.
Since Star Trekk began 20 years ago, wonderful trekkers have raised over £1million.
The evening starts at Adventure Coast Southport with a fun party atmosphere where you can enjoy the pre Trekk entertainment, with the walk starting at 7.30pm.
People then head out along Marine Drive, over the Marine Way Bridge, past Silcock’s Funland, down Nevill Street and onto Lord Street, up Eastbank Street and Scarisbrick New Road, past Queenscourt Hospice on Town Lane, through Birkdale Village and then back to the start to collect their medals.
There is a different coloured Star Trekk shirt each walk, with yellow the colour for this year.
The walk is a healthy, energising and fun event open to everyone, you can take part on your own, with family and friends, with your exercise class, with your work colleagues, with your school, while walking your dog, the choice is yours.
Many Trekkers walk in memory of a loved one or because Queenscourt has supported them personally, while others take part for a fun night out and to raise money for their local hospice.
Whether you are a ‘brand new’ trekker or you have been trekking before, Queenscourt Hospice looks forward to welcoming you for what promises to be a fun filled evening.
All Trekkers will receive a t-shirt and a medal.
Tickets are £23 for adults and £12.50 for children under 16, with all participants receiving a T-shirt and medal.
