Beeston Light Night 4
2027
We wish to hold another town wide festival when an Arts Council England (ACE) funded #illuminatethemidlands installation visits us on 20 March 2027.
Our story:
As part of a new consortium called ‘Illuminate the Midlands‘ we have managed to secure a pot from the Arts Council to fund a touring installation called ‘Reflections‘.
Other cities who will host this work have professional bid writers and council departments who run their light nights. We are a small charity run entirely by volunteers, and have no access to comparable funds and resources, but we still aspire to hold a wider festival around this installation.
Why are we crowdfunding for this?
Shared Prosperity Funding (SPF) attained in collaboration with Broxtowe Borough Council has supported TWO Light Nights. We now want to hold our 4th but the SPF funding has been scrapped.
Help us light up Beeston again in March 2027 –

Beeston Light Night 3 #BeestonBurns transformed our town centre into a vibrant celebration of creativity, community and culture after dark.
For one memorable Burn’s Night in Beeston, streets, public spaces and familiar landmarks came alive with light, colour, art, music and interactive experiences enjoyed by people of all ages.
