Event Overview
Christmas is often described as the season of joy, but for many, it is also a season of remembrance. The twinkling lights, the familiar songs, and the traditions we hold close can bring memories of those we miss the most.
We invite you to join us at Pontefract Racecourse for our Light up a Life event, presented by Duncan Wood. From 3pm, come together with others to remember loved ones and celebrate the lives of those who will always hold a special place in our hearts.
The afternoon will include stalls, live music from the Liquorice Singers, readings and refreshments. There will also be indoor activities at the racecourse, before everyone comes together for the switching on of the Christmas lights. It’s an opportunity to share memories, take a moment to reflect and remember someone special this Christmas.
