Lancaster !
Friday 2nd Nov 2012
Light Up Lancaster is a free event for all the family, taking place in outdoor spaces across the city centre. Take an autumn evening stroll through the city and be surprised and delighted by music, film, dance and art, lighting up Lancaster’s beautiful buildings and squares. Discover a corner of the city you’ve never noticed before, hear the rhythms and sounds at the beating heart of the city, stumble upon a story from Lancaster’s past, or simply see the city in a whole new light. Collect your guide to the Light Up Lancaster events from Dalton Square, Lancaster, between 7.30pm and 8pm on the night, or in advance from The Dukes. See where on the map overleaf.
Lancaster’s Arts Partners join forces with Lancaster City Council and Lancashire County Council to bring you a free walkabout light and art event for one night only.
