Fantastic Light Up Lancaster festival starts today and here’s how to download the route map

This year, the festival promises an extraordinary three-day spectacle, taking place from today, Thursday, (November 2) to Saturday November 4, with extended hours from 5pm to 9pm each night.

Lancaster Market Square will come alive with local street food stalls, offering a wide range of hot food, cakes, and drinks.

You can grab something delicious to eat and drink from the stalls or surrounding shops, sit in a beautifully lit dining space, and enjoy live music from local musicians throughout

the night.

Familiar locations will once again be illuminated to perfection.

Don't miss the breathtaking Castle Illuminations by Illuminos, presenting 'The Great Cower,' promising projections that capture the beauty and fancifulness of artists who embellished the Great Cowcher over 500 years ago.

Dalton Square will be lit by imitating the dog with their project 'Dear Einstein,' which will also feature a live community choir.

St John's Church will feature an interactive, projected tempest - a source of life and mystery.

The Storey Gardens will showcase 'Firefly Field,' a mesmerising light installation of numerous flying light points creating the illusion of fireflies.

The magic begins today, Thursday, (November 2) and everyone is invited to come and celebrate on the opening night.

With extended hours, running from 5pm to 9pm each night, visitors have ample time to immerse themselves in the brilliance and wonder of this one-of-a-kind festival.
