Along the way those taking part will enjoy plenty of entertainment, treats and surprises. At the end of the walk will be a mini-disco.

Prizes will also be awarded for the best fancy dress costumes.

The evening is being run by the newly formed EACH Felixstowe Friends Group.

She urged people to come along and join in the fun.
