Forest Holme Hospice has announced that its much-loved Tie A Yellow Ribbon memorial event will be returning to Poole Park this June.
The free community event, kindly sponsored by MSP Capital, will take place on Saturday 14th June from 12pm to 3pm and is open to everyone — not just those who have experienced a bereavement through Forest Holme.
Visitors will be invited to write personal dedications and tie a yellow ribbon in memory of a loved one. These ribbons will then be placed in the hospice garden, remaining there as a tribute throughout the summer months. Alongside this, guests can enjoy local craft stalls, refreshments and free children’s craft activities, plus performances from a group of local choirs led by Tim Dowland.
Claire Cooper, Fundraiser at Forest Holme Hospice Charity, said: “This annual gathering is a beautiful opportunity for our community to come together — whether or not they have a direct connection to Forest Holme — to remember and celebrate the lives of loved ones. Set in the tranquil surroundings of Poole Park, it’s a chance to reflect, tie a ribbon, and enjoy a relaxing afternoon with family and friends. We encourage people to bring along a picnic and be part of this special day.”
