About
Light Up is back, bigger and better than ever!
Join us this November and witness a spectacle of light across the Wakefield District with installations and illuminations in Wakefield, Castleford, Pontefract and Ossett.
And that’s not all! Elsewhere across November you can experience an illuminating evening of fire and art at Nostell, step into the immersive Liz West: Our Colour Reflection exhibition at the Yorkshire Sculpture Park, watch a surrealist animation at The Hepworth Wakefield and enjoy a beautiful lantern parade at the National Coal Mining Museum for England – plus much more!
Start the festive season in style as we light up the Wakefield District!
This year’s Light Up Festival is part of Our Year Wakefield District 2024, a year-long programme of breath-taking spectacles, unique festivals and community-led activities that celebrate all the Wakefield district has to offer.
