Nottingham Light Night is back for 2026 – brighter and more magical than ever!
This free, family-friendly event invites everyone to experience Nottingham like never before, with glowing installations, interactive displays, and live performances illuminating the city's landmarks, streets, and hidden corners.
More than 30 immersive and interactive light-based installations, performances, and activities will be taking place across Nottingham over the two nights.
Broadway will be hosting a range of events and activities in collaboration with local artists and creatives. Discover live DJs and visuals, interactive artworks and installations, and immersive virtual reality experiences across our bars, gallery and public spaces.
Find out more about the full event lineup, including many projects by Nottingham-based artists and organisations, in the full Light Night programme. Attendees will be able to plan their itineraries and read more about all the installations using the free It’s in Nottingham app. Printed guides will also be available from the Tourism Centre on Smithy Row, and at key locations on the day.
Light Night is produced and funded by Nottingham City Council and It’s in Nottingham. Cultural organisations across the city also support the event.
