Join hundreds of walkers stepping out for a host of good causes at the 20 anniversary KM Charity Walk and garden party celebrations.

Participants will be raising sponsor money for their favourite charities as they follow one of two circular routes - a five-mile or a 10-mile version - on Sunday, June 28.

Each walker will collect stamps from stamping stations along the way to earn a goody bag and souvenir medal at the finish line.

To fit in with the anniversary theme participants are encouraged to wear yellow or gold and prizes will be awarded for the best outfits.

The walk starts at Mote House, a Grade II listed Georgian mansion at the heart of Audley Mote House Retirement Village in Maidstone.

Branch manager Libby Webb of Audley Mote Management said: “We are delighted to lend our support especially on the landmark occasion of the 20 anniversary.

“I hope that all those taking part and all the wonderful volunteers have a great day and enjoy the facilities that we have here.”

After the walk participants are invited to a garden party in the grounds of Mote House with barbeque, drinks and a string quartet.

Event organiser Sophie Wallace of the KM Charity Team said: “We’re celebrating two decades of the KM Charity Walk and this event will be bigger and better than ever.

“It’s a wonderful walk for all ages to enjoy followed by food, drink and live music in a gorgeous setting.”

Organisations supporting the walk include Specsavers, Cotswold Outdoor Maidstone and Maidstone Ramblers.
