WHAT TO EXPECT:
Explore Bristol Through Light
Showcasing the city at its brightest, Bristol Light Festival brings light, fun and colour to the city centre across a free, city-wide celebration.
Established in 2020, the festival showcases Bristol as the vibrant, playful and creative city that we know and love, offering artists a platform to showcase their work at locations across the city.
Each edition celebrates artistic freedom and experimentation, featuring world-premier works alongside some of the best local, national, and international talent.
Join the student life team so we can explore the city’s popular and lesser-known paths together, uncovering a new light of Bristol with every visit.
Bristol Light Festival is a firm fixture on the Bristol event calendar, where 2025 saw over 200,000 visitors across 10 dazzling evenings.
