Experience Bolton’s FREE winter light art festival and enjoy four unforgettable nights of spectacular illuminated installations, captivating performances, and immersive experiences for all ages.
Curated in partnership by Bolton Council and Things That Go On Things, Put Big Light On Festival will run from Thursday 19 November to Sunday 22 November across Bolton town centre, between 5pm and 9pm every day.
With illuminated installations, roaming performers, and larger-than-life creations, the festival will showcase a mix of contemporary outdoor arts and family-friendly performances designed to surprise and delight audiences.
At the heart of this year’s festival, the Loom of Light by dbnAudile will take inspiration from Bolton’s textile heritage to transform Victoria Square into a mesmerising and striking walk-through artwork.
Using illuminated threads of light and colour to create an evolving structure that visitors can explore from within, this showstopping and interactive feature offers a contemporary interpretation of the weaving traditions that helped shape the town’s textile history.
Stretching across the square, the installation promises a memorable visual experience, with glowing strands of light creating a dramatic backdrop for photographs, exploration, and discovery throughout the festival.
