Hundreds of lights will shine brightly, each in memory of those you love, turning our garden into a haven of light and hope.

You will receive a personalised card, displaying your loved one’s name, and a Light up a Life home pack including a dedication star which you can personalise with your own special memory. All dedications will appear in our Book of Lights which will be displayed virtually on our website. You can even send a photograph of your loved one to feature in our Celebration Video (you can do this at checkout - please note, cut off date to submit photos is Midnight 20th November 2024) For 2024, you will have two opportunities to join in with our Light up a Life celebrations: St Chads Church Service: Thursday 5th December - 7pm Springhill Hospice Celebration: Saturday 7th December - 4pm These events will include music, carols, readings and poems for you to reflect, remember and celebrate the memories of your loved ones.
