The Royal British Legion service of Remembrance in Meltham will take place outdoors around the War Memorial at St Bartholomew’s Church on Sunday 9th November 2025.
The parade led by Meltham & Meltham Mills band will leave the Carlile Institute at 10:30am and arrive at the church for the service which will begin at 10:45am. Please gather in the vicinity of the church yard.
For those who feel unable to stay outside, it will still be possible to sit inside the church and take part in the service which will be shown on the tv screen. We aim to have improved sound inside in order to be able to hear the service outside.
They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old:
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning
We will remember them.

Please note there will be no Remembrance Service at Wilshaw this year due to the ceiling being unsafe in the chapel area.
You are invited to our special memorial service on Sunday 2nd November – 4pm at St Bartholomew’s Church, Meltham.
This service offers an opportunity for anyone who would like some time and space to remember someone special to them who has passed away either recently or at any time in the past and to give thanks for their life and the memories they shared together. It is hoped that it will allow us an opportunity to celebrate the great legacy of treasured memories that we all hold onto.
There will be an opportunity during this service for anyone who wishes to do so, to light a candle in remembrance of those people.
Whether you wish to remember someone you lost recently, or a long time ago, please know that you will be welcome to come and join us.
Please share our event on Facebook if possible to help us make people aware:
