Join us for our annual Candles on the Green at Wimborne Minster, proudly supported by our Headline Sponsor, Care South.

As darkness falls, dedicate a lantern in memory of someone special and watch as hundreds of lanterns illuminate the evening in a beautiful display of remembrance, reflection and community.

Your support will help raise vital funds for Lewis-Manning Hospice Care's Counselling Service, providing bereavement support for local people when they need it most.

The outdoor lantern display is free to attend, offering a peaceful space for reflection and community. Concert guests will be welcomed inside Wimborne Minster for an evening of music and reflection. We recommend booking in advance to secure your concert entry and lantern.
