Nottingham’s fourth annual Light Night is to be held on Friday 10th February around Nottingham city centre. St Mary’s and St Peter’s will be playing a part in the celebrations hosting a number of events and artistic displays. 

St Mary’s will be offering another chance to soak up the atmosphere of the ancient candlelit building. The choir of St Mary’s will be singing throughout the evening as well as the Harlequin singers. Refreshments will be provided by the Friends of St Mary’s.

County Youth Arts have commissioned artists Pete Barber and Bec Smith to work with Mansfield’s Old Library Media Mash up to create a series of exciting and vibrant light drawings called Scrawl that will be projected against the west wall of St Mary’s Church.

Janet Fleming's Through Caverns Measured to Man will present a series of thought provoking light installations encouraging you to think about the beauty of light.

Outside in the churchyard will be a number of colourful light sculptures made from recycled materials created by artists Jess Kemp and Rosie Hobbs and disabled young people from across Nottinghamshire. There will be a chance to interact with the light drawings and to even have a go. Finally, Carole Beavis promises an intriguing celebration of happiness transcending the human body.

St Peter’s will also be playing an important part - the choir will be singing in the candlelit church and the coffee shop will be open to provide a welcome break from all the festivities.
