Barnsley Bright Nights

Barnsley Bright Nights returns in 2024 to light up the darker evenings with free art installations and the annual Bright Nights Illuminated Parade through the town centre.

There’s something for everyone over the two day festival with lots of free activities taking place across Barnsley town centre.

On Friday 22 November Bright Nights starts in festive style, with The Barnsley Carol multimedia projection in The Glass Works Square featuring stunning visuals and live performances from Barnsley Singers. Then explore the town centre and discover interactive installations at Barnsley Civic, Barnsley College, Cooper Gallery, Library @ the Lightbox, Alhambra Shopping Centre and more.

On Saturday 23 November see the Illuminated Parade starring the amazing inflatable Strobilophones. The illuminated procession will feature colourful hand-crafted lanterns, music and community groups as they journey through the town centre.

You can also take part in the parade! There will be free family lantern sessions in The Glass Works on Saturday 9, Sunday 10 and Saturday 16 November. There are limited spaces and booking is essential. Free tickets can be booked HERE on the Visit Barnsley website
