Students and staff living in the West End area of Lincoln are encouraged to take part in this year’s Lights day on 8th December.
Lincoln West End Lights is Lincoln’s home-grown night of light.
It started in Lincoln’s West End in 2010 when 9 houses took part. The city was covered in snow and the roads were closed because of thick ice. In the cold winter’s chill a few warm lights shone out as house windows were turned into cinema screens, light sculptures bloomed in front gardens and candles in lanterns flickered much to the surprise of unsuspecting passersby.
It is the festival that brings a warm glow to our West End streets. Created and powered by ordinary local people who light up the area…
Windows are turned into cinema screens
Light sculptures bloom in gardens
Lanterns hang from trees
and last year, bicycles, dog walkers and even dancers were lit up!
This is your invitation to join in. You don’t have to be film director or an award winning artists. What you need is a willingness to give it a go, have some fun and help make your community shine.
And then wrap up warm, meet on the street and enjoy the imagination and community spirit to be found in this part of Lincoln.
