Candles events 2024
Dedicate a candle to remember a loved oneJoin us for four spectacular evenings this Autumn as we illuminate Poole, Swanage, Wimborne and Christchurch in memory of our loved ones
Returning for 2024, come together as a community to reflect, celebrate and remember those we love and care about.
For a small donation, write a personal message on your candle(s) at our dedication station, before it is placed within our magical display of lights. If you are unable to attend the event in person, please email fundraisingteam@lewis-manning.org.uk and we’d be happy to write your dedication and place your candle for you.
All pre-ordered candles will be available for collection at the event and additional candles can be purchased on the night.

Environmental statement: All candles will be placed safely on the green, bandstand and lake (not directly in the water), as to not effect plants and wildlife in the area. All candles/lanterns (which are imitation flames) will be collected at the end of the evening by our dedicated team of staff and volunteers to ensure there is no litter. The Candles will also be reused for subsequent years.
Filming and photography will be taking place during the evening. If you would not like to be featured please speak to a member of staff.
