Compton Hall, 4 Compton Road West, Wolverhampton, WV3 9DH8th December 2024
You and your family are invited to join us at our Light up a Life event.
The event takes place on Sunday 8 December 2024 from 12.30 – 2.30pm, with a coming together ceremony at 1.30pm.
Take time beneath our beautiful Christmas tree with lights shining in memory of loved ones and view your dedications in our Book of Remembrance.
There will be the opportunity to take part in activities led by our Spiritual Care team and to enjoy seasonal hot food and drinks from Crumbles, all set to a backdrop of reflective live music.
If you’d like to send us a dedication and photo in memory of your loved one for inclusion in the Book of Remembrance, please visit our dedications and donations page. Please consider making a donation along with your dedication, if you can. Please note, the deadline for dedications to be included in our Book of Remembrance displayed on the event day is Sunday 1 December.
We will be releasing our Light up a Life video on this page during the week after the event, which will feature loved ones’ names and key parts of the ceremony.
We will also be sending out a digital version of our Book of Remembrance this year. To ensure you receive this, and a copy of the video, please fill in the form below to register your interest.
This is a drop-in event, so please do stay for as little or as long as you wish. A ‘coming together’ ceremony will take place at 1.30pm.
The event is free of charge and all are welcome, not just those with a connection to Compton Care. The location is wheelchair friendly and the event is suitable for families. Assistance dogs only please.
Parking will be available on-site (including dedicated Blue-badge parking), however this will be limited and will be on a first come, first served basis. Once our car park is full we will ask people to park respectfully around the neighbourhood area. Parking marshals will be on duty to assist. Please note, a separate parking area will be reserved for emergency vehicles, staff, volunteers, and visitors to the Inpatient Unit.
A wide selection of food and drinks will be available to purchase from our on-site coffee shop, Crumbles. The team will be serving both indoor and outdoors.
This is an outdoor event, situated on the grassed lawn in front of Compton Hall and surrounding hardstanding areas. There will be outdoor seating available (some undercover) for those who need it. Please check the weather forecast on the day, and ensure you wrap up warm and wear sensible footwear. The event is largely on grass which can be damp when stood for long periods of time. We will keep our eye on the weather forecast on the days leading to the event, so please check back here for any updates that may affect the event going ahead.
