There will be a “mesmerising” light projection on the Council House
Nottingham Light Night will feature more than 35 interactive illuminations when it returns to the city at the end of February.
This year’s event will take place on Friday, February 28 and Saturday, March 1.
The interactive light-based installations, performances and activities will be taking place across Nottingham over the two nights, created by local, national and international artists.
It’s once again expected that Light Night will attract around 50,000 people to the city centre.
Councillor Sam Lux, Executive Member for Carbon Reduction, Leisure and Culture at Nottingham City Council, said: “I’m so happy to see the return of Nottingham Light Night for its 17th year.
“At this vibrant and family-friendly celebration of creativity, visitors can enjoy more than 35 dazzling installations across the city, all for free.
“The event offers an affordable and accessible trip out for people and families of all ages, giving them the chance to explore Nottingham’s incredible venues and spaces in a different light.
“We are excited to showcase local talent and also welcome an array of artists from across the UK and beyond.”
