Scintillating Birch Forest was created by Stroud based artist, Jack Wimperis. Jack is passionate about the importance of trees, not only for the environment but also for health and wellbeing.

Breathing Room by artist Anna Berry is a walk-in kinetic light installation that perfectly combines organic and machine elements, creating a unique sensory experience.

🕛 Comes to life at dark, when the lampposts turn on
📆 October - December
Bright Nights has invited award-winning digital artists Chomko & Rosier to turn three ordinary lampposts in the centre of Gloucester into magical illuminated stages where everybody can dance and play with their shadows. Shadowing gives memory to city lights, enabling them to record and play back the shadows of those who passed underneath.
