👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Calling all Lancaster parents & families! 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦

If you’ve loved exploring in the past, we have a small favour to ask to help make this year’s festival the best one yet for our kids!

A crowdfunding campaign has been set up to run free, dedicated Fun Zones embedded in the festival trail. Rather than just looking at the lights, children will get to interact directly with international light art and help power the installations themselves! Every pound pledged brings us closer to making this a reality for thousands of local children.

Thank you so much for backing these local creative experiences!
