Remembrance Ceremony

The Light Up A Life Ceremony will take place on Sunday 7th December in Harold’s Cross at 3.45pm.

Join us for this year’s moving Light Up A Life Christmas concert and Remembrance ceremony in the beautiful grounds of Harold’s Cross Hospice on Sunday December 7th 2025.

It’s a perfect way to begin your Christmas festivities, celebrating and honouring your precious memories of someone dear to you. Knowing, at the same time, that you’re supporting such vital care and services.

Back for another year, is our ever-charming MC Ian Dempsey, who always pulls everything together with such fun. And we’re very excited to announce that this year’s special guest is none other than the renowned singer, songwriter and musician, Eleanor McEvoy. Eleanor is one of Ireland’s most celebrated and loved musicians, with an extraordinary career that includes the legendary hit album “A Woman’s Heart”. Joining her will be a host of amazing musical acts, including the Palestrina Girls Choir, and the Dublin Gospel Choir, to name just a few.

As the official start to the Christmas season for many, it really will be an occasion to remember, with many other marvellous musical acts who will perform songs guaranteed to get you feeling festive.

You can also toast the season with hot apple punch, soup and mince pies or simply soak up the atmosphere. The highlight of the evening will be the lighting of our magnificent Light Up A Life Christmas tree.

Every year, thousands of people sponsor beautiful lights in the name of their friends or loved ones who have died. It is a wonderful way to pay tribute to those who meant and still mean so much to us.

LOVE IS A LIGHT THAT NEVER GOES OUT
