🌸✨ Garden of Light – A Free Evening of Colour, Creativity & Community ✨🌸This spring, Newark town centre will glow after dark as Garden of Light arrives with an evening of light, colour and shared experiences for all ages.
Taking place on Saturday 7 March, Garden of Light is a free, family-friendly event celebrating the change of seasons from winter into spring. As the sun sets, the town centre will be transformed with illuminated art, interactive projections, live performances, street entertainment and creative activities to explore together.
One of the highlights of the evening will be the Bloom Parade – a joyful moment where spring-themed lanterns created by local schools, community groups and workshop participants are carried through the town, filling the streets with light and colour.
Whether you pop along for a short wander or make a full evening of it, Garden of Light invites everyone to experience Newark town centre in a new and magical way.
