Tree of Light 2026

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 30th November when the High Sheriff of Worcestershire will turn on the lights.

The Chase Brass Band will play 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 30th November 2026 through to 4th January 2027 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 period and the names also  will be  printed in the Christmas edition of the Malvern Gazette. You can still see the lives remembered last year by following the link below.
