Hospice To Light Up Dean’s Green With Heartfelt Display

St Barnabas Hospice is holding three nights of illuminated remembrance as part of its launch of its Forever In Our Hearts display in April.

This year, as part of the appeal, the hearts displayed on the Dean’s Green next to Lincoln Cathedral will be illuminated with a stunning ground light system on April 1st, 2nd and 3rd.

Holly Eyre, Fundraising Development Manager for Individual Giving, said: “Each session will feature fitting pieces of music as ticket holders walk the paths of the Dean’s Green, the hearts dedicated to those being remembered will be illuminated, with the beautiful backdrop of the Cathedral also lit in this stunning display. It is sure to be a captivating, emotional and atmospheric event.”

Tickets are limited, with several slots available to book from £5 on all three days. The events start each night at 7pm.

For a suggested donation of £35.54, you can order a locally-made ironwork heart in memory of a loved one. Anyone can dedicate a heart, regardless of whether their loved ones received hospice care or not. St Barnabas is also offering personalisation of the hearts before they are displayed.

The display will run from Saturday 2nd April to Monday 18th April and will be open for members of the public to visit and pay respects during this period.

The hearts measure 18 x 95cm and will all be handmade locally by Stefanos at The Old Smithy. Artist Dominic Parczuk has created a fantastic oil painting impression of what the display will look like once all the hearts are in place.
