Lights of Love 2026
2026-11-29 - 2026-12-06 | Various
Remember a loved one this winter.
What is Lights of Love?
Lights of Love is a series of remembrance services across Hastings and Rother. They offer a gentle, welcoming space to pause and remember those we miss. Each service typically includes thoughtful readings, candle lighting, and times for quiet reflection. Some services also feature hymns, while the non-religious services offer a meaningful space for remembrance without religious elements. At the end of each service, a tree lighting ceremony takes place. Each location’s tree is lit up, with its branches filled with stars lovingly decorated and dedicated by you in memory of someone special.
