Poole Park’s Small Lake to Shine Bright on 19th October as Lewis-Manning Hospice Care Hosts ‘Candles on the Lake’

Lewis-Manning Hospice Care is excited to announce the return of their popular annual event, ‘Candles on the Lake’, on 19th October. This year, the event will once again take place on the small lake near The Ark in Poole Park—a highlight of the community calendar that provides a unique opportunity to celebrate, remember, and reflect on loved ones in a serene and beautiful setting.

The whole community is invited to come together for this special evening. Participants can dedicate a message on a candle that will be floated on the lake, creating a magical and moving display of light and love.

Musical performances from The Boscombe Salvation Army Band and The Funky Little Choir will set a reflective and heartwarming tone for the evening, enhancing the ambiance and making the event a truly memorable experience. Light refreshments will be available for all attendees.

Lewis-Manning Hospice Care Events Fundraiser, Anna DuRose expressed her enthusiasm for the event, stating, “We are delighted to bring our amazing ‘Candles on the Lake’ event back to Poole Park for the 7th year, and we are pleased to share that this year, we will be returning to the small lake near The Ark. This wonderful event offers local people the opportunity to come together to reflect, celebrate, and remember their loved ones by writing a personal dedication on our popular candle boxes, which will be floated in a mesmerizing display. Funds raised from our event will enable us to continue offering our Bereavement and Family Support services to local people in our community.

“A suggested donation of £6 per candle will directly support Lewis-Manning’s Bereavement and Family Support services, ensuring the continuation of vital support to those in need within the community.
Lewis-Manning Hospice Care looks forward to welcoming everyone to this beautiful event, which promises to be a night of connection, remembrance, and reflection.

“Special thanks to our headline sponsor, Care South, for supporting our event for yet another year and new sponsor Ives & Shand Funeral service. We’d also like to express thanks too for support from South Coast Mini Marquees, The Funky Little Choir, Boscombe Salvation Army Band, Crew Consult First Aid , Abbas Cabins (TBC), Rockley Water Sports  and One Nine 58 Coffee Van.”

Lewis-Manning Hospice Care will also be hosting ‘Candles by the Sea’ at the Bandstand in Swanage on 26th October and ‘Candles on the Green’ at Wimborne Minster on 16th November.
