At the heart of each event is our magical display of lights. For a donation, you can dedicate a candle in memory of a loved one by writing a personal message at our dedication station, before your candle is placed within the display.
As the lights shine, enjoy live performances from local choirs and bands, with light refreshments available to purchase.
Pre-ordered candles will be ready for collection at your chosen event, and additional candles will be available for a donation on the night.
If you are unable to attend the event in person, please email fundraisingteam@lewis-manning.org.uk and we’ll be happy to write your dedication and place your candle on your behalf.
