Candlelight Evening NZ - Honouring Our Children

Honouring children no longer with us through candlelight, music and reflection, celebrating their lives and the love they brought into ours.
About this Event

An evening dedicated to honouring the lives of children who are no longer with us, and the lasting gift of love and light they brought into our lives, from pregnancy loss through to adulthood.

Join us beside the beautiful Turtle Lake at Hamilton Gardens for a peaceful, uplifting and inclusive gathering of gentle music, heartfelt words, reflection and candlelight.

As part of the evening, lanterns will be released onto the lake in honour of our children, celebrating their lives and the everlasting love we hold for them.

If you would like a lantern dedicated to your child, please email their name to [email protected] before the event.

Whether you come to remember your child or stand alongside families, you are warmly welcome.
