Lights in the NIght

A free, 3D light projection show is returning to Wolverhampton city centre and is just one of many events happening in the lead up to Christmas to keep everyone entertained.

The show, which last took place in 2023, is on Friday 28 and Saturday 29 November, from 6pm to 9pm, and sees the enchanting ‘Lights in the Night’ show projected onto St Peter’s Collegiate Church, celebrating the rich history, heritage and diversity of the city of Wolverhampton.

‘Lights in the Night’ conveys the city’s past as presented in a 3D light animation which will play on a loop every 5 minutes, and people will be able to spot key highlights such as running wolves and exploding locks. The show is led by Illuminos, a company which has over 10 years’ experience creating visually inventive and memorable projection artwork and experiences.

The ‘Light Over Darkness’ exhibition also runs on the same days at St Peter’s Church, when visitors can discover the power of art within the sacred architecture. It can be viewed on Friday 28 November, 5pm until 9pm, and also includes a rare public rehearsal by the St Peter’s Collegiate Choir in the main chapel.

The exhibition is also open between 11am to 4pm on Saturday 29 November, when visitors will be treated to a special Christmas Carol performance by the Wulfruna Ladies Choir.  

The headline sponsor for this year’s Christmas events, including the light projection show, is Wolverhampton based not for profit health cash plan provider Paycare.
