About this event
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 our in-person celebration at Exeter Cathedral this December, for hand-picked readings, poems, music and carols in honour and remembrance of all those people we hold dear.
Our Tree of Light will also shine in memory of our loved ones in front of the cathedral for you to visit throughout December.
This a free event and will be operating on a first-come, first-served basis
