(Names collected over the weekend will be read out and a candle lit for each)
Stations of remembrance will be open continuously during the weekend. Please bring a photocopy of a picture of your loved one or loved ones (loved animals too) and put them up on the remembering wall. You can also leave a message for them on the memory trees and light a candle.
There will be a dedicated team of 'Listeners' experienced in death and dying available during the weekend to talk to. St. Margaret's hospice staff will be there to answer questions on the many practical aspects of death and dying in Somerset.
Come in, have a coffee, chat to a someone about death, sit quietly and soak up the lighting, the sounds and the atmosphere. Or join in one of our discussion forums in the afternoon.
