Light Up Lancaster

A Night Out In Lancaster indeed was a good night out for the 2023 Light Up Lancaster event. Great food, great atmosphere.

A free family-festival of light and art, taking place annually at the start of November.

Light Up Lancaster has been wowing crowds since 2013 and now it invites you to stroll through the city’s squares and alleyways to celebrate its heritage through light art installations and illuminating performances of music, art and dance.

Due to its increasing popularity the usual two-day festival will now be across three days, from November 2-4.

Highlights include a stunning projection installation in the castle which will reveal the unique history of The Great Cowcher, an illuminated 15th century document which has been referred to as the Duchy of Lancaster equivalent of the Domesday Book.

Must-see events are also at Market Square, Dalton Square and lots of sites across the city centre.

Light Up Lancaster will run each night from 5pm-9pm – almost double the hours from last year, plus you can come along to the Saturday daytime Art Fair in St Nics Arcade!
