We are excited to welcome you once again to our spectacular Winter Lights festival. For our ninth edition, the trail will take you on a journey through 12 spectacular temporary installations, as well as our ever-popular permanent light artworks. Showcasing some of the most innovative light artists across the globe, our 2025 festival explores the transformative and otherworldly qualities of art and light, featuring portals, black holes and mirages.
On the boundary between real and surreal, the line-up will take you from a towering stack of bathtubs pulsing with light and sound, through to Westferry Circus where you can encounter a mesmerising tornado of lights orbiting a pylon, immerse yourself amongst panels of sari fabric and luminous threads on Wren Landing, be dazzled by an iridescent mirage on Montgomery Square, experience a bird in flight and be transported through a portal in Wood Wharf. Finish off the tour at our newly opened Eden Dock, where you can marvel at a 20m wide sink hole encircled by light.
Winter Lights is free to visit, the map is now available to download, alternatively you’ll be able to pick one up from our friendly event stewards when you arrive. The installations will be open 5-10pm daily.
