Workington Hall will be transformed into a winter wonderland with a spectacular lights display later this year.
Hall Park Light Works promises to bring seasonal sparkle to West Cumbria on Saturday November 30 and Sunday December 1.
The event for all ages will transform the heart of Workington into a glittering wonderland after dark.
Hall Park Light Works will be a family friendly journey through a magical winter wonderland that will transform Workington Hall grounds with lights, projections, music, fire and winter warming food and hot drinks.
The event is free to attend and part of Cumberland Council’s Light District.
It is presented in partnership with the West Coast Creative People & Places programme, Everyone Here.
Supported by the Government and Arts Council England, the event is free to attend – no ticket is required, just turn up. It will run each night from 5.30pm to 8.30pm, and the event will be fully accessible.
Ellie Jones, Cumberland Council’s event officer, said: “Following our successful Light District events in Carlisle and St Bees, we are now delighted to extend the programme to Workington.
“This is a free event for all the family to enjoy. No matter what age you are, you’ll have a great time. So join us and experience the magic of winter in Workington in a whole new light.”
The two lead artists tasked with bringing the event to life are Ronan Devlin and Hannah Fox.
Hannah said: “I love working across my home region, from streets to hilltops, beaches to towns, so an opportunity to create and present in Workington at this fantastic event was not to be missed. This festival is slap bang in the town and is really accessible and central to the Workington winter celebrations and I am excited to be a part of such an important occasion in the Workington calendar.
Ronan added: “I love making work that’s both about and has an effect on a place. This is a great project as there is such a rich cultural history to draw from in Workington and the Hall setting is a stunning canvas to tell stories on.
“Expect Workington Hall cloaked in light, colour and sound, riding a mystic unicorn!”
