Each year Ludlow Rotary Club creates an opportunity for individuals and families to make personal dedications to a special person, in the memory of a loved one or to celebrate a special occasion, such as a birth or anniversary, while making a donation to charity. This year we raised some £800 and it will be used by Ludlow Rotary Club to support local community projects.
2024 was the seventeenth year that the Club, in collaboration with Ludlow Town Council, has organised the Ludlow Tree of Light. When Castle Gardens were first illuminated in 2011 as part of the Town Christmas lighting scheme an ancient yew tree was chosen as the Tree of Light.
The Tree of Light is lit immediately after the Switch-On of the Town lights on the last Saturday in November. This year there was a torch-lit procession from the Harp Lane Deli led by carol singers to the tree in the Castle Gardens which, once switched on, presented a waterfall of lights creating a focus for dedications and good wishes.
All dedications received by Twelfth Night on January 6th 2025, are recorded in the Book of Remembrance and Celebration on the Ludlow Rotary Club website to view go to The Tree of Light Dedications 2024.
