The festival will be taking place at different times, in different places throughout East Sussex and give guests a chance to remember the special people who are no longer in their lives through music, readings, the lighting of candles and the doves on the hospice Christmas tree.

There are due to be eight celebrations this year, with two in the hospice itself and another six in churches across the St Wilfrid’s community.
