Bereavement and grief can feel especially poignant during the festive season, when the contrast between personal loss and public celebration may be stark. Our Light Up A Life rememberance event offers a space to honour and celebrate the lives of loved ones who are no longer with us.

Through music, readings and reflection, Light Up A Life offers a comforting space to come together and remember. The event is free to attend and open to all.

Please join us for a heart-warming service of remembrance and reflection. Experience the comfort of music, poetry and readings as we honour the lives of the people who have brought light into our world.

At the service, you will be in the company of others who are remembering loved-ones too, and it can be comforting to know that you are not alone. Please come with a friend or with your family - or come on your own with your private reflections and cherished memories. Everyone is welcome. The programme of uplifting music and words is sure to touch the heart of everybody who attends.
