Nottingham's Light Night is back for its 14th year with the theme this year being 'Rebel City'! 

Wanna view the spectacle that is the Nottingham Light Night but not sure who to go with? Join us at the City SU Reception at 18:30 and view Nottingham's famous night of eclectic and electric light installations together with your fellow students.  
 
Both independent artists and creatives working as part of a collective have been invited to leave their mark on our city, making this an occasion you do not want to miss!  

''The theme looks to explore Nottigham's heritage as a hotbed of rebelloion over the centuries and the way the city looks to do things differently today. The Castle's history will come alive with ‘Fire Garden’ – produced by AndNow, a company which creates illuminating experiences all over the country. A fire trail will lead to the historic bandstand and reveal a huge ball of transparent red liquid suspended from the ceiling, illuminated by 100 lights. In Old Market Square, Nonsuch Studios’ Rebel Heart will explore the questions “What makes a rebel?”, “What makes a rebellion?” and “What makes a rebel city?” That will use a wall of sound, light and projection. States of Matter is an immersive installation at St Mary’s Church in the Lace Market exploring varying states of water from ice to steam, and the Tom Dale Company will take over Nottingham Contemporary with Urban Explorers - four youth dance groups performing alongside professional dancers combining visual art, projection and integrated dance celebrating movement and technology. Plus, there are over 50 installations from Victoria Bus Station down to Canal Wharf and from the Robin Hood Statue to Green’s Windmill. There is even a piece in The Meadows at the Arkwright Street Allotments.'' from Nottingham Post.

This city-wide exhibition will be open on both Friday and Saturday. We invite students to meet up at the City SU Reception to meet new and familiar students to experience this night with. A member of staff will take you through the City. We recommned you download the Light Night App to get the most out of your visit - you'll also be able to read about the installations, as well as about shops, restaurants, bars and other entertainment venues that will be opening late in the City for Light Night.
