Candles on the Quay

This year’s special event has found a new home, moving from Poole Park to the stunning Poole Quay. With the generous support of Poole Harbour Commissioners, the organisers are proud to bring attendees a truly magical spectacle by the waterside.

Together, the community will gather to support Lewis-Manning Hospice Care and remember those they love. Families will have the opportunity to write a personal dedication on their candle(s) before placing them in the beautiful candle display.

The evening will be enriched with uplifting live performances from Funky Little Choir, The Dorset Police Male Voice Choir, and the Salvation Army Band.

Special thanks are extended to the headline sponsor, Care South, and to the supporting sponsors, Poole BID and Ives & Shand Funeral Directors, for making the event possible.

Everyone is invited to attend on Saturday 29th November from 6pm for an evening of light, love, and remembrance.

Donations for candle(s) can be made via the website: https://lewis-manning.org.uk/candles/
or in person on the night 💛

If, for any reason, someone is unable to attend but would still like to make a dedication, they are encouraged to pre-order a candle and email fundraisingteam@lewis-manning.org.uk
. The team will be happy to write the dedication and place the candle on their behalf.

Environmental statement: All candles will be placed safely in the display. All candles/lanterns (which use imitation flames) will be collected at the end of the evening by the dedicated team of staff and volunteers to ensure there is no litter. The candles will also be reused in subsequent years.

Please note: Filming and photography will take place during the evening. Attendees are encouraged to tag the organisers in any photos shared online.
