Our annual ceremony lighting our Tree of Remembrance in St Mary's Pleasance Garden, Haddington

The lighting of the Tree of Remembrance is the jewel in the crown of the Hospice calendar, and something that people throughout the Hospice community look forward to each year. The ceremony offers attendees the opportunity to remember someone who has died, as well as see our tree of remembrance illuminated for the first time.

Doors open from 5.00pm for Christmas shopping and mulled wine in St Mary's Parish Church.

Our Trees of Remembrance will remain lit throughout the Festive season until Sunday 3 January.
