Harry Potter star to open The Myton Hospices' Moonlight Walk

HARRY Potter star David Bradley is set to open The Myton Hospices’ Moonlight Walk.

The stage and screen actor will officially start the fundraiser at Warwick Castle on Friday April 17.

Coinciding with his birthday, David’s appearance offers participants a unique opportunity to celebrate alongside him.

Best known for his roles in the Harry Potter film series and Game of Thrones, David will meet walkers before sending thousands of participants on their way through the castle grounds and around Warwick town centre, as they take part in the Midlands’ largest and most popular Moonlight Walk.




The event brings people together to walk with friends and family in support of Myton, raising vital funds for patients and families across Coventry and Warwickshire. Every step helps ensure Myton can continue providing compassionate, specialist care when it matters most.

Myton Hospices spokesperson Jason Levy said: “Having David join us this year is incredibly special. The Moonlight Walk means so much to so many people – it’s a chance to come together, to remember, and to celebrate. David’s support helps shine a light on the care we provide every day across our community. It’s an evening filled with fun, reflection, and connection, and we’re proud to have him with us.”


David added: “I am honoured to be part of such a meaningful event. The work of The Myton Hospices touches so many lives, and it is inspiring to see communities come together in this way. I am really looking forward to meeting everyone and helping to start the walk.”

One of Myton’s flagship fundraising events, the Moonlight Walk attracts thousands of participants each year. In 2026, the event aims to raise over £250,000, with funds directly supporting Myton’s care across its hospices and in the community. This ensures patients and their families receive specialist palliative care through some of life’s most difficult moments.
