Light Night Worcester is returning to city in February

Taking place on two evenings in the school half-term The Arches Festivals team have programmed their third Light Night which is free for everyone to enjoy.

With immersive and interactive sculptures and intriguing and playful performances the programme promises another fantastic experience lighting up Worcester.

Previous Light Night events have proved extremely popular in Worcester

Submergence, an immersive, walkthrough experience by Squidsoup; Luma, an 8m long interactive robot created by Air Giants; Neon Dogs, a joyful collection of coloured dogs by Deepa Mann-Kler and a silent disco are all part of this year’s programme, as well as playful walkabout performances by Disco Heads and Glow Bros.

David Edmunds, Festivals Director, Severn Arts said: “I’m really excited for Light Night 2022 as it presents the work of yet more amazing high-quality artists yet again in a way that is playful and surprising, creating yet further moments of fun and joy for people to experience something new once again in the city as we firmly establish Light Night as a key event in the city’s calendar.”

Previous Light Night

Laura Worsfold, CEO, Severn Arts said: “We are now into our third Light Night Festival and each one has been designed to build on the one before and offer unique, innovative experiences for our communities. After such a long period of uncertainty and gloom, we are excited to illuminate the city again as we move towards spring and lighter days ahead.”

In 2021 festival volunteers joined The Arches Festivals team to welcome thousands of people to the summer festival Same But Different and Light Night.

Light Night will take place on Wednesday Thursday, February 23 and 24, from 6pm-9.30pm.
