Nottingham College is offering free family activities, art exhibits and an illuminated costume parade for Light Night 2020. It’s all happening on Friday 7 February, 5pm - 8.30pm at the College’s City campus in the Lace Market (at 25 Stoney Street, opposite the Adams Building).

This year’s Light Night is inspired by the broad theme of Life on Earth, covering everything from nature and animals to science and philosophy and humanity and society. Nottingham College’s art, design, fashion, textiles and photography students and staff have been working hard to prepare activities and exhibits inspired by planet earth.

There is no need to book, you can just turn up to 25 Stoney Street on the night and enjoy! Look out for the fashion students’ fantastic baroque-style light-up costumes in Lace Market Square and outside 25 Stoney Street to help you find your way!

What's on and where?

We’ve got family-friendly activities, exhibitions, and a parade.
