✨Billie Loveland is organising a magical “Walk Under the Stars” at Betteshanger Country Park in aid of The Oliver Steeper Foundation. By torchlight and a starlit path to follow, it’s the perfect adventure for families and children of all ages. Every step you take helps raise funds to provide life-saving anti-choking devices for nurseries, preschools, and childminders across the UK – turning a fun night out into a brighter, safer future for little ones everywhere should a choking emergency occur.
The 2-mile route is designed so everyone can join the adventure! Fully pathed and accessible for pushchairs, wheelchairs, and all abilities, the walk winds its way through the beautiful grounds of Betteshanger Country Park. Whether you’re strolling with little ones, rolling along with a buggy, or taking in the stars at your own pace, it’s a chance for the whole family to enjoy the magic together. 🌙✨
