Held at Westquay Shopping Centre in Southampton and in the shadow of the Old Walls, the event is returning with new installations, one of which is a bespoke commission especially for the event.
Some of the pieces there included The Wave - a series of suspended orbs which changed colour.
Lightbattle - where two sets of bicyles face one another and used pedal power to send light across the archway. This seemed very popular with all ages - even if some of the little ones had trouble reaching the pedals!
Sunrise was the bespoke piece commissioned for the festival - this dome of twinkling, colour changing lights was hypnotic when you stood underneath.
The perfect backdrop to all of this was The Old Walls - I wonder what stories they could tell from all that they've seen over the years.
The Festival of Lights runs from the 15th to 24th February. It's a free event so if you still have time for a visit, I'd recommend it.
Thanks for reading
