Harrogate's own TV singer to perform at St Michael's glow walk

Thursday, 19 September 2024 07:14

Sarah Collins performing on Michael McIntyre's Big Show.

A Harrogate singer who appeared on Michael McIntyre's Big Show is set to perform at a local charity event this weekend.

Sarah Collins, who was McIntyre’s ‘Unexpected Star of the Show’, will perform at St Michael’s Midnight Glow Walk on Saturday (21st September).

She’ll be at the hospice’s Event Hub before the event, which will see up to 1,000 walkers light up the streets of Harrogate in tribute to the thousands of families the charity supports each year.

Sarah was invited onto the stage for the hit BBC show on January, where she was able to perform with her idol Leann Rimes.

Participants are invited to gather at Ashville Sports Centre from 8:30pm before walkers embark on a 10km route around town after dark.

The event – ideal for families, couples, groups of friends, work colleagues, or even pets – can be walked in tribute to someone special, or just for the fun – and those taking part will be making a big difference to local families living with terminal illness and bereavement.
