Why You Can’t Miss Light Night 2022

Nottingham Light Night 2022 will be the thirteenth edition of this great event. The city after dark will attract thousands of visitors across a range of demographics. Nottingham will once again come alive at nightfall with performances, illuminated attractions, and cultural events. Some of Nottingham's best street food vendors will be selling their wares at the unique Light Night market.

We’re going to take a look at what to expect!

The Heart of the City

Old Market Square is one of the best locations to start your night and meet friends. It’s a significant hub for the city’s social scene and transport links. Known as the city’s beating heart, it is expected to have some exceptional must-see exhibitions. Nottingham BID and Arts Council England put on an eclectic display of eye candy last year, and this year will be no different.

Book a taxi to get there early and beat out the crowds.

Skate of Nature

The Skateable installation. Skate of Nature was one of the leading commissions of 2020. It was inspired by the power of young people to affect positive and cultural change. Reflecting on the State of Nature report, 2019, this unique exhibition explored the idea of urban life and wildlife.

Members of the public were invited to create UV placards and messages about why we need a wilder city!

We don’t know what to expect this year, but we have high hopes.

Nottingham Street Food Club

1. Music and DJs
