Residents are being asked to don their favourite pyjamas and go for a walk, to help raise money for Lincolnshire charity St Barnabas.
The annual Moonlight Sleepwalks will be held across the summer in Lincoln, Grantham, Skegness and Market Deeping, to help raise money for patient care.
The walks feature live music and entertainment, plus a medal to celebrate your achievement.
The Lincoln sleepwalk on June 15 begins and finishes at Yarborough Leisure centre on Riseholme Road.
Last year, over 1,000 people took part in the events and raised £230,000 for the charity, which cares for end-of-life patients.
The event is supported be a number of business, such as Western Power Distribution, Ambitions Personnel, G4S, Wright Vigar, Ringrose Law and Hodsgon Elkington, who donated to the event, and Lincolnshire Co-operative Society and Brakes, who donated refreshments. Running Imp will also provide an inflatable gantry for the Lincoln walk.
The businesses took a look around the Day Therapy Centre in Lincoln on March 26, to see the care going on behind the scenes.
Michael Clarke of Western Power Distribution said: “The work that St. Barnabas Hospice does for people and their families in Lincolnshire is so valuable and we are very pleased to be supporting the St. Barnabas Moonlight Sleepwalks, as the walks raise huge amounts of money for the charity and is a wonderful series of events that the local community can take part in and enjoy.”
Registration starts at £8, and included a walker pack, plus a medal and refreshments after the walk is complete.

Can you help us identify the woman in these CCTV images?
We are appealing for help to identify the woman shown in these CCTV images following a theft that occurred on Wednesday 22 June in Grimsby.
A 92-year-old woman was walking through Freshney Place Shopping centre, Grimsby when it is believed that her purse was taken from her shopping trolley.
The woman in these images we believe may be able to assist with our investigations and we would ask anyone who believes they recognise her to please contact us on our non-emergency 101 line quoting log 246 of 23 June.
A retired fire engine that used to operate in Grimsby was used in Ukraine to help combat a missile attack on a shopping centre, which the G7 has described as a ‘war crime’ by Russia.
On Monday, footage emerged of a missile striking a shopping centre in the Ukrainian city of Kremenchuk, with Ukraine’s president Volodymyr Zelensky claiming is is evidence of a deliberate attack by Russia.
At least 20 people were killed and around 56 were injured following the incident, with G7 leaders saying the attack is considered a war crime. More than 1,000 people were inside the building when it was hit by the missile.
A familiar looking fire engine can be seen in video footage of the blaze shared across news outlets and social media platforms, in the form of an old Humberside Fire & Rescue vehicle.

The response should be more heavy arms for Ukraine, more sanctions on Russia, and more businesses leaving Russia. pic.twitter.com/Uvi6fbyShK
The fire engine used to operate here in North East Lincolnshire, covering Grimsby and Immingham, and it is one of many vehicles sent out by Humberside Fire & Rescue to various countries across Europe in recent years.
Fire Aid recently sent a convoy of around 75 vehicles, equipment and clothing to Ukraine to help provide resources for recovery.

Area manager Matthew Sutcliffe told BBC Look North: “We’ve sent a number of fire engines since 2015 over there. These are end of life fire engines for us in Humberside, so we share them across Eastern Europe where we can.
“It’s an absolute tragedy what we saw yesterday. Firefighters there were using one of our old fire engines to protect the property but also save lives.”
"Absolute terrorism" – says @ZelenskyyUa and publishes a video of a deliberate missile strike on the Kremenchuk shopping center with people inside. Russian propaganda always lies: there is no coincidence, it is a deliberate blow to intimidate the population and mass victims. pic.twitter.com/Gx1f90cMta
During a regular nightly address to the nation on Monday, president Zelensky said: “The Russian missile hit this very object, purposefully. Obviously, that was the order. It is obvious that Russian assassins received such coordinates for this missile.
“They wanted to kill as many people as possible in a peaceful city, in a regular shopping mall.”
