An evening of glowing installations and illuminated performers in the heart of the town.
The town centre, transformed by light.

The Winter Lights Spectacular turns an ordinary winter evening into something worth wrapping up for: illuminated performers weaving through the crowds, and interactive light installations planted the length of the town centre.
Previous editions have brought light-up tunnels to journey through, sensory spheres across the high street, glow-in-the-dark face painting and a giant walk-on piano that kept every generation busy tapping out a tune.


The town's businesses stay open late for the evening, so the mulled wine, hot chocolate and dinner tables are never far away. The December date is announced in the autumn – newsletter first, as always.
