Light Up Leicester - Installations

  

From 12-15 March, Leicester’s city centre came alive with light installations, projections and performances. The free festival celebrates community, creativity, and connection, transforming the streets into a glowing celebration of art and culture. Join me as I explore the artworks, performances, etc taking place across the city from Highcross to Jubilee Square, From the Cathedral to The Clock Tower and beyond it`s time to Light Up Leicester.

It is made possible through the generous support of Arts Council England, the National Lottery Heritage Fund, Global Streets, PPL PRS and headline sponsor Highcross.
