Tree of light 2026

Our annual Tree of Light appeal.


Each year The Rotary Club of Oswestry organises its Tree of Light campaign around Christmastime to raise funds for charities. This year the Tree of Light switch-on will be on Friday 20th November at 5pm, with the mayor again switching the lights on.  Santa will be there, and we hope to have some suitable christmas music.

Christmas is a time to celebrate with loved ones, look back fondly over happy years and to remember those we have loved and lost. For many it can also be a time of sadness, when the loss of a loved one is most keenly felt, a time when we particularly remember those people whom we love but, sadly, see no longer.

But the Tree of Light is not only about remembering those we have lost. It is also about celebrating, a time to be glad and grateful for all of the gifts we have received and to remember how good life has been to us. A wedding anniversary, an engagement, a special birthday, a treasured friendship, the birth of a child; all of these things we can celebrate by making a dedication on the Tree of Light, and your dedication will be added to the book of remembrance in Oswestry library.
