You are warmly invited to join us for Candles at Christmas. As the festive season draws near this will be a chance to pause, reflect and remember the life of someone special and the memories we continue to cherish.
We do hope you will be able to join us for one of our Candles at Christmas services taking place at the Addenbrooke’s Hospital Chapel on Saturday 5 December 2026 at 10am – 11.30am. Our services will feature music, comforting readings and lighting of candles in honour of loved ones. They are suitable for people of all faiths and none, and will be followed by festive refreshments. You are also most welcome to bring along family and friends.
The service is free to attend but you will need to reserve your seats by clicking the button above. You can also suggest a piece of music or make a donation.
If you cannot attend the services but would still like to have your loved ones name read out, suggest music or make a donation please still RSVP. As Christmas approaches, we really do value your support, which makes a huge difference and helps us continue to provide the best possible care where it’s needed most.
We look forward to seeing you on Saturday 5 December and if you would like further information or have any questions, please get in touch with Claire at claire.smith@addenbrookescharity.org.uk or on 01223 609581.

“Just wanted to say thank you all so much for yesterday’s service.  This is the 3rd year we have attended and once again found it to be a moving and lovely service.  My mother came with us this time and said it was the most amazing experience. Keep up all the excellent work you all do and we will hopefully see you next year.” – Cheryl
“My friend and I thoroughly enjoyed the Candles at Christmas this afternoon. It was a lovely service and very poignant in our grief at this time.” – Daphne
