Lights of Life

Dedicate a light in memory of your loved one, attend our service and book a garden visit.

We never stop missing the people no longer with us. Every November, we will create a stunning display of lights in our garden as a tribute to the people we love - our Lights of Life. We know it can be harder at this time of year. Lights of Life is an opportunity for people to reflect on precious memories and celebrate the lives of the people no longer with us, and all are invited.


This year, Lights of Life will be taking place on Sunday 30th November. Please register your interest below and we will be in touch soon to let you know how to get involved.

New for 2025: Dedicate a light

    This year, instead of writing your message on a paper star to be hung in our gardens, you can dedicate a light in memory of your loved one. You'll be able to choose from four dedication areas within our grounds, and your loved one's name will be printed on a special display surrounded by twinkling lights.

    Lights of Life Service

    Our annual service takes place in our gardens, where you can join us for live music, readings from staff and family members, a moment of silence by candlelight, the official switch on of the Lights of Life and time to wander in the gardens and view the lights and dedication boards.
