Beyond Radio to broadcast live from Light Up Lancaster for first time ever

Lancaster Castle lit up during last year's festival

Beyond Radio will present a special live programme from the Light Up Lancaster festival for the first time ever.

Tune in for our special show live from Market Square on Thursday November 7 from 6pm to 8pm.

Light Up Lancaster runs from November 7 to 9.

A trail of illuminated artworks and installations will be open to the public from 5pm to 10pm each night.

Venues include The Storey Centre, Lancaster Castle, the Judges' Lodgings, Priory Church, Market Square, Sun Square, Dalton Square and Lancaster Library.

Find out what's on at the festival HERE.

Light Up Lancaster grew from a partnership between Lancaster City Council’s annual fireworks spectacular and a pilot event celebrating art and light in 2012.

The intention was to create a small but magical after-dark multi-artform trail the night before the fireworks.

The pilot event caught the public imagination and attracted thousands of people.

From there, the event gained further funding and support and became Light Up Lancaster – a weekend festival of art and light.

For the second year running, in 2024 the fireworks display will not be part of Light Up Lancaster.

Light Up Lancaster is delivered in partnership by Lancaster City Council, Lancaster BID and The Dukes.

The festival is supported with funding from Arts Council England, Lancaster City Council and Lancaster BID.

Additional financial and in-kind support comes from Lancaster University, Lancaster University Confucius Institute, Pennine Events, the Duchy of Lancaster, and Lancaster’s arts and cultural organisations.
