About this Event

Candles on the Beach is a community gathering held on St Brelade’s Bay Beach, offering a quiet space to remember and honour loved ones. As the evening moves from sunset into night, the beach is gradually illuminated with candles, creating a calm and reflective setting.

Attendees are invited to collect a candle, take part in a shared moment of remembrance, and spend time reflecting alongside friends, family and others in the community. The event follows a structured programme, including a short opening, candle lighting and a dedicated period for quiet reflection.

The event takes place outdoors and continues into the evening, so visitors are encouraged to dress for cooler conditions. Limited seating is available for those who need it, with a designated area set slightly apart from the candle display.
