Crewe’s popular Star of Light Ceremony will return to Crewe on Wednesday, December 10 with a new name and a new location.
Formerly known as the Tree of Light Ceremony, the Star of Light Ceremony will take place on Lyceum Square, CW1 2DA (at 5.30pm) for the first time.
The Star of Light Ceremony enables the Crewe community to gather and remember their
loved ones through songs, prayers, readings, reflection and the lighting of the Memory
Candle.
A new feature for this year – tributes to loved ones will be displayed on the big screen in
Lyceum Square during the Ceremony. Crewe residents can submit messages to their loved
ones through the Crewe Town Council website from next week.
Stars can be collected from the following designated community locations from Monday, November 10 and dedicated to people who have been loved and lost.
Belong Care Home (CW2 6NA)
Broo Café (CW1 2BZ)
Cheshire East Council, Municipal Buildings (CW1 2BJ)
Crewe Cemetery (CW1 3JG)
Crewe Library (CW1 2BB)
Crewe Town Council (CW1 2DL)
Mini Beans, Crewe Market Hall (CW1 2BL)
The deadline to return stars to the drop-off points is Sunday, November 30. The stars will
then be collected together and displayed at locations in and around Lyceum Square. Stars will be limited to two per person and both sides of the star can be used for tributes.

A Crewe Town Council spokesperson said:
“We are delighted to bring the Star of Light Ceremony back to Crewe, in its new location of Lyceum Square. We know that it is an important part of the festive season for many Crewe residents, to come together as a community to make tributes to their loved ones who are no longer with us. Everyone is welcome to come along and we look forward to seeing your messages on the big screen for the first time.”
