Light Up A Star 2025

Please join us in celebrating and remembering the lives of your loved ones at our Light up a Star service. This remembrance service will include poems, music and a moment of reflection as we all come together to light lanterns in memory of a loved one. The service will be followed by light refreshments, a Christmas stall and a chance to talk and connect with each other.

Tickets are £5 (free for 12 and under) and include a Remembrance Lantern. Your Remembrance Lantern will be posted to you ahead of the event. We would encourage you to decorate your lantern in memory of your loved one and bring it with you to the service.

If you are unable to join us on the day the event will also be livestreamed on the All Saints Church Hampton YouTube page, and will be available to watch later. Additionally, if you would like to light a lantern at home instead of attending then please don’t hesitate to get in touch with us via c3VwcG9ydGVyY2FyZSB8IHNob290aW5nc3RhciAhIG9yZyAhIHVr.

This year, we are delighted to say that you can pre-order some Christmas knitted novelties ahead of the service. You will find this option on the booking page. There will also be an opportunity to purchase Christmas cards and knitted novelties at the end of the service. The knitted novelties have been generously made for us by supporters and all proceeds will go towards Shooting Star Children’s Hospices.

As you may already know, it costs £12 million a year to run Shooting Star Children’s Hospices. Just 29% of our funding comes from the government, so we rely on our supporters’ generosity to keep our vital care service running. If you would like to make a donation, we will have collection cans and card machines available on the night. We understand that this may not be feasible for all and encourage you to donate what you are comfortable giving. If you would like your donation to be added as a contribution to an existing tribute fund, please mention your loved one’s name when booking.

Thank you for all your continued support and for making such a difference to the work that we do.

Please note that the venue is in the ULEZ zone. You can check if your car is compliant on the Transport for London website.
