This bright festival of light creates uses effects, colour and historical buildings to champion creative innovation in Norwich.
Love Light Norwich brings unexpected magic to the Norwich streets: stunning installations, performance, projections, a city centre procession, and much more for everyone to experience, all for FREE!
The first year the festival took place on Valentine’s weekend in 2020, and Love Light Norwich created a stunning immersive experience in the city centre. Celebrating the theme of love and belonging, the festival featured an illuminating trail of light and fire artworks, extraordinary installations and astounding performances.
Love Light 2024 announcement
We know so many of you have been looking forward to Love Light Norwich 2024, and we’ve been looking forward to lighting up the city this coming February for our third festival.
Events of this size and scope require a lot of funding and Love Light – like many public arts events – relies on a big contribution from Arts Council England to bring such an extraordinary festival to our streets.
Despite successful applications for funding in 2020, and 2022, unfortunately we were not successful this time around and our 2024 event isn’t able to go ahead as planned. Applying for funding such as this is always competitive, and while the team here is hugely disappointed about Love Light, it’s heartening that there are so many other arts and culture events that will be supported by Arts Council England in the coming year.
Love Light has always been about supporting the city – and its businesses – at a time of year that is typically quieter following the Christmas peak. This festival means so much to us, because we know it means a lot to other people, too.
We’ve already begun work on our funding application to bring Love Light Norwich back for 2025, and in the meantime, keep an eye out for more announcements on 2024 events, coming soon.
