Mansfield’s favourite winter event is back, and this year’s Light Night promises to be even bigger, brighter, and more magical than ever!
Join us from Saturday 15 to Monday 17 February for three nights of immersive light and sound.
Carr Bank Park will once again host this spectacular illuminated experience, inviting visitors to explore a captivating world of light and wonder. Following overwhelming success in 2024, this year’s event features an extended trail with additional themed zones, all centered around the radiant bandstand – a dazzling focal point that’s not to be missed.
A Journey Through Magic and Light
The one-way illuminated trail takes visitors on a journey through enchanting, Instagram-worthy scenes:
- Fairy Land: Stroll through a shimmering wonderland adorned with countless twinkling fairy lights, creating an unmissable photo opportunity.
- Enchanted Forest: Discover woodland animals nestled among trees bathed in a warm, magical glow, making every step feel like entering a storybook world.
- Carnival Discoland: Feel the high-energy beats, vibrant illuminated arches, and kaleidoscopic lights that dance to the rhythm.
This year’s centrepiece, Green Power Women, is a must-see celebration of creativity and inspiration. Housed in the historic 1859 greenhouse, the display is a striking collection inspired by the medieval carvings of Southwell Minster, reimagined with a contemporary twist.
No winter event is complete without hearty refreshments! Our food court will offer a delicious selection of winter warmers.
On weekend nights, enjoy extra entertainment with live performances from the Nottingham Samba Collective, face painting, walkabout entertainers and the much-loved silent disco – a guaranteed hit for all ages – disco divas get ready to strut your stuff!
