Brighten up your February with Light Up Kingston 2025, brought to you by Kingston First and Riverside Walk, where you can explore a series of stunning light installations around Kingston town centre from 14th to 23rd February, between 4.30pm-9pm daily - all completely free!
Following the success of last year’s pilot, this year’s event is set to be bigger and brighter featuring brand new light installations that go beyond the visual, incorporating touch, movement, and sound for an immersive sensory experience. Whether you’re running your hands along a surface that responds to your touch, stepping into an installation that reacts to your movement, or soaking in the atmosphere of a mesmerising soundscape, this year’s event is designed to captivate and inspire all visitors.
Don’t miss the return of the popular Heofen Light Maze, a dazzling labyrinth of overlapping light patterns that invites you to get lost in a kaleidoscope of colour! And prepare for magical new installations such as Nova, which embodies our enduring fascination with the stars and their everlasting connection to our imagination. Kingston in Frames by Kingston University graduate Jadwega Ligeza is a must-see. This stop-motion animation celebrates Kingston’s landmarks, history, and community, brought to life through hand-crafted paper art.
As you visit each installation, collect stamps on your special Light Up Kingston postcard, which you can pick up at selected stores in town. Once completed, you can redeem your postcard for exclusive discounts and offers such as 20% off your total food bill, 50% off entry and kids eat free, at local businesses like Gourmet Burger Kitchen, Chakra, PRYZM, Excellar, Cass Art, FunClub, Afrikana, Rose Theatre and many more!
It’s the best way to enjoy Kingston’s vibrant dining and shopping scene while experiencing an unforgettable event that’s fun, inclusive, and the perfect antidote to February’s chill and gloom!
"We invite everyone to come and enjoy this free to attend enchanting experience while engaging with your surroundings in a creative way. Wander through the glowing streets, discover the beautiful installations, and explore what Kingston’s local businesses have to offer. From families seeking a half-term adventure to couples looking for a romantic Valentine’s outing to a fun night out with friends, Light Up Kingston has something for everyone to enjoy!"
