Nottingham proudly presented its first Light Night event on in February 2008, which brought a unique evening of entertainment, illuminations and late night opening of arts and cultural organisations that animated the City Centre. The Old Market Square, one of England's largest public squares, hosted a musical concert featuring Nottingham Music School groups, choirs and performances by young people of Nottingham.
The concert was accompanied by stilt walkers and characters dressed in carnival costumes and climaxed with a spectacular pyrotechnic and fireworks display from the roof of the adjacent Council House. Street entertainers, musicians and installations animated the City centre.
There were trails of light across the City centre linking the Old Market Square, Nottingham Castle, the Theatre Royal, and Broadway Cinema, St. Mary's and St. Peter's Churches and the Albert Street areas of the City. Prior to the event Artists led workshops involving children and community groups created canvas artworks which were illuminated and displayed along the light trails.
Nottingham's Light Night attracted 20,000 people into the city centre, and it was extremely well received by a diverse audience, including many families and older people out unusually late in the evening enjoying the illuminated trails and activities. The atmosphere across the city centre was warm and welcoming and undoubtedly the Light Night changed the perception of the city centre at night for families, people of all ages and visitors to the City after dark.
Nottingham's Light Night 2009 is scheduled for Friday 13 February 2009 and it is intended to build on the success of their event last year, with lots more activities and partnerships involving businesses and communities within the city. ATCM in conjunction with Nottingham City Council are delighted to host an expert briefing for centre managers and those involved in centre management before the main activities. This is to start at 1630 until 1730 and then you will, filled with knowledge and know how, have an opportunity to participate and experience in Nottingham's Light Night programme first hand afterwards.
