Light up a Life

Join us as we light up Guildford Cathedral and remember those who are no longer with us. 

Light up a Life is a traditional event in the Phyllis Tuckwell calendar, where those who wish to remember and celebrate the lives of their loved ones, are invited to join us for a very special service of readings and carols that will be held at Guildford Cathedral.

On the night, we will join together for readings and carols, and the image of a Christmas tree will be projected onto the front of the Cathedral building. 

After the service, we will be 'switching on' its lights to represent the lives of those who are much loved and missed. The names of those who have had a dedication made in their memory will also be projected onto the front of the Cathedral building, after the service.

Should you wish to, you can make a dedication in memory of someone special to you. 

By making a dedication you will also help fund our vital services, ensuring that we can care for patients and families when they need us most.

PLEASE NOTE: The deadline to make a dedication that will appear in the Light up a Life Order of Service, and on Guildford Cathedral has now passed, but you can still make a dedication to appear in our virtual nights sky.
