On Friday 11th December 2009, everyone from the PR Office (Claire Shapcott, Chris Phillips, Suzi Cretney and myself) helped with the Sanctuary’s annual Candlelight evening. From 9.30am until 7pm, we, along with many other staff, were out in force helping to display and light some of the 15,000 candles placed around the grounds.

In between filling half-burger boxes with sand, putting them out in various designs (including a donkey's head) and lighting the candles, I managed to film a few clips of the day as it unfolded.
I had such a wonderful day, the atmosphere was very Christmassy and everyone seemed to have a marvellous time. I hope you enjoy the following mini-film of Candlelight to get an idea of what we experienced that day.
The music is from ‘Charlotte’ our antique fairground organ and the Ross-on-Wye town band, who very kindly travelled down to the Sanctuary and donated their time to play some superb Christmas music for everyone.
