Beyond Radio is delighted to announce our first live outside broadcast for 2025 - at the popular Baylight festival!
Your real local radio station has teamed up with Morecambe BID and will be hosting a three-hour show on Saturday February 22 direct from Morecambe's exciting family-friendly light art festival.
The Beyond Radio team will be hosting the show from miogelato cafe on Queen Street and will bring you all the atmosphere and flavour of parade night at the festival.
We will be live on-air from 5pm to 8pm on the night, with interviews from the festivities and as always, some great music too.
The free Baylight event runs on Friday February 21 and Saturday February 22, and includes a community parade on the Saturday at 6pm and an expanded light art trail featuring 18 installations by local and national artists - and many of Morecambe's iconic landmarks will be illuminated as part of the event.
Highlights of this year's festival include:
- The return of the Moby Dick. An illuminated galleon on the Bay bringing back memories of the Moby Dick attraction in the town which was destroyed by fire in 1970.
- The Reel Cinema will radiate with Space Flower lights and a red-carpet welcome, showcasing vintage cine footage of Morecambe’s history, courtesy of Morecambe Town Council. Playing on a loop both evenings, these screenings offer a nostalgic view of the town’s past.
- Sky Tracer and Colour Flow from the Midland - In a returning favourite from 2024, LED batons are programmed to create a colourful effect that run up and along the building, creating an impactful set of flowing effects, two striking beam lights project a bold searchlight and flower effect into the Morecambe sky.
- Pipe Dream - An impressive new installation debuting at Baylight ‘25, standing 6m high with a 4m footprint, this is a colourful and spectacular piece. Perfect for increasing dwell-time, Pipe Dream will create a captivating centre piece for this stop point along the route.
- The Garden of Hope - An exhibit created in conjunction with local LGBTQ+ organisation Out in the Bay with words and messages of hope, positivity, love and acceptance.
- Yesterlight - A welcome return of this 2023 favourite to celebrate Morecambe’s historic illuminations past and present, through a mix of classic bright and colourful festoons and historic information message boards. Come and see what used to be … before Baylight arrived!
- Reflections of Morecambe - Experience this captivating light art installation celebrating the Winter Gardens’ rich history. At its centre, a stunning mirrorball sits on the balcony, symbolising the venue’s legacy. Powerful light beams transform the facade into a dazzling display, evoking over a century of joyous celebrations.
