A charity is set to host its "biggest ever" fundraising event.

Heartbeat's Heart & Stroll will take place at Southampton Common on June 29.

The event will see more than 300 people take part in a 5km walk around the common.

The walk is accessible to all, with no need to run or complete the course at speed, making it perfect for families and their four-legged friends.

Former Southampton FC player James Beattie will be bringing the tunes with a live DJ set, Marvel character Captain America will be on standby for selfies, performances from Spot-On productions, and broadcaster Michael Kurn will be hosting.

Tanya Harder, project lead of Heart & Stroll, said: "We’re really excited to bring the event to life with a vibrant village atmosphere – complete with live music, photo spots, delicious food vendors, and a range of stalls.

"It’s a lovely chance for families to spend time outdoors and (hopefully!) enjoy some sunshine together."

Heart & Stroll aims to raise funds for the renovations on D2 Ward at University Hospital Southampton so that not only can the unit become the UK’s leading heart failure unit, but it can continue supporting more of our community’s cardiac patients and their relatives.
