A walk entitled "Reclaim the Night" took place on Monday 25th November at 7.30pm and organiser Jayne Sharratt explains the purpose.
Jayne tells our reporter Liz Barnes that it is a fun evening but with a serious purpose.
Jayne says the aim is to raise awareness of how women feel and their apprehension about being out in the dark.
