Light up a Life Service 2026

Rennie Grove Peace Hospice Care is holding its Light up a Life service at St Albans Cathedral on Sunday 22 November, from 6:00pm to 6:45pm. It's an annual remembrance event that comes around as winter draws near, and they describe it as a simple non-faith celebration of music, readings and reflections. The whole thing is built around giving people a chance to pause and remember the life of someone special.

Because it's non-faith, it's open to everyone regardless of where you stand on religion. The music, readings and reflections are the core of the service, and it's held in partnership with the hospice, whose care supports people at the end of life and their families across the St Albans area. It's a remembrance event in the truest sense: a quiet space to hold someone in your mind for a while.

It's a service that welcomes friends old and new, so it doesn't matter if you've been before or if this is your first time. It's free to attend, with donations welcome, and it runs for forty-five minutes — from 6:00pm to 6:45pm at St Albans Cathedral, Sumpter Yard, AL1 1BY.
