A free event in the heart of Nottingham city centre is set to showcase over 30 stunning immersive and interactive light installations.
Light Night, which is taking place from February 28-March 1, will have a variety of family-friendly activities for the kids, as well as dreamy art exhibits perfect for a romantic date night.
This is funded by the National Lottery through Arts Council England and is being organised by It’s in Nottingham and Nottingham City Council.
City centre venues such as Nottingham Castle and St Mary’s Church are hosting exciting events throughout the weekend. We’ve rounded up some of the best ones to go to.
Orbit at Nottingham Castle
The castle will have an immersive projection displayed on its iconic walls. The production will ‘time-travel’ visitors through worldly history, from aerospace to humankind explanations. Each evening will be opened with Inspire Youth Arts young musicians, who will perform at the castle’s bandstand. Visitors can expect the show to open from 6-9:30pm on both days.
St Mary’s Church
Located in Nottingham’s Lace Market, the church will have spectacular light sculptures and projection art for spectators to see. The Children’s Choir of St Mary’s will also be performing throughout the night, providing an atmospheric accompaniment. It’s worth noting that this event is only on March 1, so make sure to head to this one on Saturday evening.
Nottingham Buddhist Centre
Visitors will be spoilt for choice for things to do at Nottingham Buddhist Centre. A transformational light session will be held from 6-9pm on both February 28 and March 1. The centre itself will be lit up with illuminated projections. As well as this, there will be vegan treats and refreshments to tuck into. All donation proceeds will go towards the centre to help towards its Giving Month appeal.
