The team behind Lancaster's popular annual light art festival have announced more activities to enjoy at this year's event.
Light Up Lancaster returns to the city from November 5 to 7, this year with the theme of 'No Boundaries'.
There will be plenty for families at the new Fun Zones, which will give children and young people the chance to be a part of the art through their input and interaction.
Plus, the very popular Explore Week will be back for 2026, taking place from October 26 to 30 (half term).
Five days of free workshops will offer fun and exciting creative experiences and hands-on activities learning all about light, art and science.
The workshops will be located in The Storey and have been coordinated together with the engagement team at Lancaster University, with support from the University’s Impact Acceleration Account programme.
All the installations are free to view and suitable for families, and they will all be running on Thursday, Friday and Saturday evenings from 5pm until 10pm.
Once again, the festival will welcome incredible installations and interactive artworks to light up the city's historic buildings as well as hands-on activities and plenty of chances to get involved.
Major funding comes from Lancaster City Council and Arts Council England, with support from a host of other funders.
Further support comes from Festival Champions: Hotfoot, a multi award-winning creative agency and English Lakes Hotels, a family-run collection of award-winning hotels.
Others who are sponsoring the festival include Lancaster University, Lancaster University Confucius Institute, Lancashire County Council, The Duchy of Lancaster, Our Future Coast and Creative Lancashire.
