As the lights go down on Northern Lights Manchester, we want to say a huge thank you to everyone who joined us for our very first year in Heaton Park ✨
Our aim has always been to create an immersive, inclusive and magical experience that everyone can enjoy, and seeing families, friends and loved ones exploring the trail together and making memories throughout the season has been incredibly rewarding 💜
Bringing this debut year to life took imagination, passion and an enormous team effort. From the striking illuminated artworks to the atmosphere woven throughout the park, we couldn’t be prouder of what was created in Manchester, highlighted by our brilliant partners with John Lewis and Hotel Chocolat.
To our brilliant team and all those who helped make it happen - planners, producers, designers, stewards, suppliers, traders, security, bar staff, cleaners and trail managers - thank you for your hard work, commitment and energy, even in challenging conditions. You truly made our first year in Manchester shine ✨
Thank you, Manchester, for such a magical debut.
