Malvern Rotary Club are determined to make a difference in the community and the annual Tree of Light has been part of that for over 20 years. Money raised from this year’s Tree of Light will benefit Acorns Children’s Hospice and St Richard's Hospice, as well as many more local causes.
However, the main way which the Tree of Light helps the individuals of Malvern is when it comes to remembering loved ones who are no longer with us.
“The tree brings a focus and an opportunity to remember loved ones” said Rotary president Keith Spencer.
“It allows partners, wives, husbands, children and grandchildren to remember happier times, and many people pick out a light on the tree to represent their loved one.”
“The Switch On ceremony will take place on Monday 1st December when Leader of Malvern Hills District Council will turn on the lghts.
The Chase Brass Band played Christmas Carols before and after the switch on, bringing some festive cheer and getting us all in the mood for Christmas."
The lights in Priory Park will stay on from 1st December 2025 through to 4th January 2026 for people to enjoy as they walk through the park, allowing individuals to remember a loved one and support the local community at the same time.
As in previous years, there will be a rolling display of all of the lives remembered on a large screen inside the theatre during this perod and the names also will be printed in the Christmas edition of the Malvern Gazette. You can still see the lives remembered by following the link below.
