Lewis-Manning Hospice Care is excited to announce the return of their poignant event, ‘Candles on the Green’, set to illuminate Wimborne Minster on Saturday, 16 November from 6pm to 8pm. This enchanting event invites the community to come together to celebrate, remember, and reflect on their loved ones.
Attendees can dedicate a message on a candle, which will be displayed on the Green adjacent to Wimborne Minster, creating a magical spectacle. The evening will begin with the Boscombe Salvation Army Band, who will set a reflective and heartwarming ambiance with their performance outside the Minster. Inside, the local choir Cantilena Voices and the popular Rock Choir will provide additional musical delight, enhancing the event’s uplifting atmosphere.
A suggested donation of £6 per candle will help fund Lewis-Manning’s Bereavement and Family Support services, ensuring that essential support continues to be available to those in need within the community.
Lewis-Manning Hospice Care Events Fundraiser, Anna DuRose, shared her enthusiasm, “We are delighted to bring this magical event back to Wimborne for its second year. It offers a wonderful opportunity for the local community to reflect, celebrate, and remember their loved ones while supporting our vital Bereavement and Family Support services.
“Special thanks to our headline sponsor, Care South, for their continuous support of our Candles events and also sponsors Douch & Small Funeral Directors and MJP Law. We’d like to express our appreciation too to The Rock Choir, Cantilena Voices and The Salvation Army Band for their brilliant support of this event.”
Lewis-Manning Hospice Care will also be hosting ‘Candles on the Lake’ in Poole Park on 19th October and ‘Candles at the Bandstand’ in Swanage on 26th October.
