A Season to Remember: Adding Love to Hockley’s Christmas Tree
As the festive season approaches and Hockley begins to sparkle with Christmas lights, there’s one tradition that quietly stands apart, bringing comfort, reflection and togetherness to our community our Hockley Remembrance Tree.
Every year, as the festive lights begin to glow and Hockley prepares for the season ahead, there’s a special tradition that brings our community together in a meaningful way. The Hockley Remembrance Tree on Spa Road has become a place where residents can pause, reflect, and honour those they miss most at this time of year. It’s a simple idea, but one that carries enormous heart.
At Amos Estates, we’re proud to help bring this tradition to life. For several years now, we’ve invited local residents to share the name of someone they wish to remember, and we create a personalised wooden ornament to hang on our community tree. There’s no charge, no catch, just a gesture of care and connection for anyone who needs it.
The response each year is incredible. Families, friends, neighbours and even those who have moved away still take part, knowing their loved ones are remembered in the heart of Hockley. As the tree fills with ornaments, it becomes more than just a festive display, it becomes a symbol of shared love, shared loss, and the shared strength of our community.
We’re honoured to continue this project and grateful to every resident who trusts us with their memories. If you’d like to add a name to this year’s tree, we would be privileged to create an ornament for you. In a busy season that often rushes past, the Remembrance Tree is a gentle reminder of what truly matters: the people we carry with us, and the community that carries us all.
If you would like to add a name or a short message to this year’s Remembrance Tree, we would be privileged to create a personalised wooden ornament for you. Simply email the name and message you’d like displayed to hockley@amosestates.com and we’ll ensure your remembrance is added with care.
