The famous light show from the Yorkshire Coast BID is back for a week-long spectacle (26th February – 3rd March).
Light Night, is set to return for its second year, promising to be bigger and brighter than ever!
Between the 26th of February and the 3rd of March, residents and visitors to Bridlington will have the opportunity to see a spectacular laser show every night between 7pm and 10pm, lighting up the skies in technicolour.
The idea behind the “Light Night” event series, is to shine a light on iconic locations and landmarks in and around Bridlington.
On a clear night, people will be able to see the shows in their home town, but people from up to 25 miles away will be able to see the skies illuminated with lasers.
The lasers in Bridlington/Flamborough will be hosted at:
• The Chalk Tower, Flamborough: Standing proudly in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty is described as England’s oldest surviving lighthouse. This iconic building, set amongst the golf club grounds provides a location that is perfect for gathering by to see the sights.
• The Forum, Bridlington: No seafront is complete without the bright lights of the amusements, and this new location will see the lasers mounted to the roof providing a sensational vantage point of the show all the way over towards Sewerby. This will be combined with a one-of-a-kind event taking place on the Saturday (more details to follow).
If you’re looking to elevate your experience, viewing parties will be taking place throughout the event.
For an extra special experience, The Lodge, Bridlington will be hosting an event on Saturday 2nd of March (between 8pm and 3am) with an indoor laser show and incredible DJs including Charlotte Devaney, finalist for the ‘Best Female DJ’ award at the Drum & Bass Awards 2024. Tickets are just £5 on the door and is not one to miss.
Light Night has been created by Yorkshire Coast BID in collaboration with Polestar Productions to showcase the beauty in our area whilst also attracting visitors outside of the peak tourist season.
Kerry Carruthers, Chief Executive of Yorkshire Coast BID, said: “After the success of the pilot event, we wanted to bring it back with more lasers, dates and locations as a way to showcase the scale and diversity of the area.
“There are many incredible historic and cultural landmarks, that we see this as an event with great potential to keep evolving over future years to not only attract visitors to stay in the area, but also provide a free activity for residents to enjoy and a reminder for us all, about what the area is known for. From Historic and iconic landmarks to the fishing industry, we have it all, and we’d like to thank everyone who is playing a role in bringing this event to life.”
Tony Gill, Managing Director of Polestar Productions, said, “As a Yorkshire-based production company, we are delighted to be taking part in facilitating this spectacular event again. It allows the community to get together and share a special moment, whilst allowing a chance to take in the beauty right on our doorstep.”
