An evening of remembrance and reflection, to shine a light on the lives of the special people we love who are no longer with us.

Thursday 10th December 2026 | Doors open 6.00pm, event starts at 7pm

Light up a Life is a Christmas remembrance service, hosted by St Oswald's Hospice Spiritual Care Lead, Davina Radford. The event will take place at Event Northumbria at Northumbria University, Newcastle City Centre.

Everyone is welcome to join in, whether or not you have a connection to St Oswald's Hospice. There will be a mix of music, refection and readings and the service will culminate in the switching on of the Christmas tree lights, each one sparkling in memory of someone special. Light up a Life is an inclusive event, suitable for the whole family.

Everyone is welcome, whether or not you have a connection to St Oswald’s Hospice. Tea and coffee will be served.

You can also choose to dedicate a light on the hospice Christmas tree in memory of a loved one by making a donation to St Oswald's Hospice. Visit www.stoswaldsuk.org/light-up-a-life (https://www.stoswaldsuk.org/get-involved/light-up-a-life/) to make your dedication.
