St Luke’s Guiding Lights
Our lighthouse sculpture trail is ending – but it isn’t over yet!
At the Grand Auction on Thursday 1 October, the large and medium-sized lighthouses go under the hammer at the University of Plymouth. Bid in person or online and give your favourite sculpture a forever home. Register for the event.
Every penny of profit from Guiding Lights will support the compassionate end of life care provided by St Luke’s Hospice Plymouth for local families.
A massive thank you for being part of the Guiding Lights journey so far.
Our Presenting Partner
A big thank you to our Presenting Partner Morgan Sindall Construction. We are honoured to have such a community driven local business supporting us. You can learn more about their work and why they decided to support St Luke’s Guiding Lights here.
A Wild in Art Event
Working in partnership with Wild in Art, this colourful and exciting art trail will engage local communities, schools and businesses, and bring thousands of visitors into the city. All the while raising awareness of St Luke’s and the importance of the care we provide.
Wild in Art is the leading producer of spectacular public art events which enrich, entertain, inform and connect communities – giving people of all ages a voice through art.
Why lighthouses?
The lighthouse theme was selected for its symbolic relevance and its strong link to Plymouth’s maritime history and Smeaton’s Tower on the Hoe. Lighthouses traditionally provide a guiding light for those who are weathering stormy seas and searching for safety, and this echoes what St Luke’s offers our patients and their loved ones, helping them find their way in times of great difficulty and uncertainty.
Seeing our organisation as a guiding light also fits in well with St Luke’s commitment to shine a beacon of compassion across Plymouth and the surrounding area, not only supporting and advising patients and families, but also liaising with and guiding other health and care professionals to make sure everyone has the best end of life support possible.
Auction for St Luke’s Hospice Plymouth
After being on show to the public for 10 weeks, the lighthouse sculptures will find their permanent homes when they go under the hammer at a grand auction finale. The Guiding Lights auction takes place on 1 October at the Rolle Marquee, University of Plymouth, when the large and roaming sculptures will be sold to the highest bidders. All profits from the sales will go directly to fund the compassionate care St Luke’s delivers in people’s own homes and at the hospice’s specialist unit at Turnchapel.

How Lighthouses support St Luke’s Hospice Plymouth
Lighthouses are navigators for those who are weathering stormy seas. The first lighthouse built on the treacherous Eddystone Rock, was a pioneering project, just as St Luke’s has been a trailblazer for hospice care in Plymouth, Southwest Devon and East Cornwall. We put our patients first, delivering care in their homes and at our specialist unit at Turnchapel and shine the spotlight on encouraging conversations around death, dying and bereavement.
