Explore Bristol through light
The Bristol Light Festival will bring colour, light and play to city centre spaces with a series of commissions from local and internationally renowned artists.
The Light Festival will take visitors along several different routes from Cabot Circus to Park Street, via locations such as Castle Bridge, Temple Gardens, Queen Square, Harbourside, St George’s Bristol and the City Centre, discovering different installations along the way. At each location, visitors will be able to see, experience and enjoy six world premiere works light art installations that are brand new for Bristol, alongside some of the best of the UK’s talent, all making their Bristol debut at carefully selected locations.
The installations will shine from 5pm-10pm every night during the festival. There will also be a selection of daylight and green energy installations, adding a new dimension to the event and the opportunity for those visiting and working in the city to experience some of the artworks throughout the day.
