Lewis-Manning’s stunning community event ‘Candles on the Quay’ will take place on Saturday 29th November 2025.
This year, our special event has found a new home – moved from Poole Park to the stunning Poole Quay. With the generous support of Poole Harbour Commissioners, we are proud to bring you a truly magical spectacle by the waterside.
Together, as a community, we will gather to support Lewis-Manning Hospice Care and remember those we love. You and your family will have the chance to write a personal dedication on your candle(s), before placing them in the beautiful candle display.
The evening will be enriched with uplifting live performances from Funky Little Choir, The Dorset Police Male Voice Choir, and the Salvation Army Band.
Special thanks to our headline sponsor Care South and supporting sponsors Poole Bid and Ives & Shand for supporting our event.
We hope to see you on Saturday 29th November from 6pm for an evening of light, love, and remembrance.
About Lewis-Manning Hospice Care
Lewis-Manning Hospice Care provides extraordinary care to patients and their loved ones facing a life-limiting illness across Poole, Purbeck and East Dorset. We offer a range of free hospice care services aimed at helping people to live well through their illness, closer to home. These include:
– Day hospices, virtual and in person
– Creative arts & wellbeing support
– Lymphoedema clinic
– Breathlessness clinic
– Bereavement & family support
– Complementary therapy
– Hospice at home
Every year we support nearly 500 local people and we develop new services, based on patient need and identified gaps in the area. To do this we need to raise over £2.3m every year. Without these funds we could not exist. Our important work increases people’s physical and social well-being, reduces isolation and loneliness, supports people to stay in their homes longer, and alleviates the huge pressures on family and carers.
