3pm at Cottage Hospice, Five Ashes

We invite you to attend a Light up a Life service, a chance for you to remember and celebrate the lives of your loved ones during the festive season. Please do dress warmly.
It may be your first Christmas without your loved one, or many may have passed, the service brings everyone together to support one another whilst sharing and reflecting on precious memories of those held close to our hearts. Enjoy music, readings and poems and light a candle for someone you love.
Remember someone special this Christmas with a star dedicated in their memory on our Light up a Life Christmas tree and a Light up a Life online dedication.
Your Light up a Life star will lovingly hold the name of your loved one on a Christmas tree at the Cottage Hospice, or the Hospice in Pembury throughout December.
Please note there will be no parking available on site at Cottage Hospice due to a limited number of spaces required for visitors. Please find alternative parking in Five Ashes. Where available, parking will be possible onsite for those in possession of a Blue badge.
There will be ample parking available on site at the Hospice in Pembury, should we exceed the number of spaces available, you will be advised to seek alternative parking in Pembury along Maidstone Road. Additional spaces will be reserved for Blue Badge Holders.
Complimentary refreshments will be served after the service
Yes, if you made a donation online, over the phone, or by post on or before 1st December, your star will be displayed on the tree of your choice at the service and then throughout December. Your loved ones name will also be displayed here on our online wall of remembrance.
Donations received on or after 2nd December may not be displayed in time for the service, but will be displayed for the remainder of December, and your loved ones name will also be added to our online wall of remembrance.
Yes, you are welcome to bring your star(s) with you, or you can collect one at the event following the service. Volunteers will be on hand to help you to make your dedication, ensuring your loved ones name is captured on our online dedication page.
We are not printing a Book of Remembrance for Light up a Life this year. We made the decision this year to use an online dedication page which will display the names of all those being remembered during the Light up a Life appeal. You are welcome to add further dedications as well as pictures, messages and memories. To view the dedication page, please click here
