The festive season is a special time of year when many people come together with family and friends to celebrate. At Hospiscare, we know that for those adjusting to life without a loved one, it can be a bittersweet time.
Light Up a Life is our annual celebration of the lives of lost loved ones. We hope you will join us for this in-person service at Exeter Cathedral for hand-picked readings, poems, music and carols in honour and remembrance of all those people we hold dear.
Please note that places are free on a first-come basis. Doors open at 6.15pm for a 7pm start.
Our Tree of Light will also shine in memory of our loved ones in front of Exeter Cathedral for you to visit throughout December. You can also view the Book of Memories, inside the cathedral from 3 December until Twelfth Night.
