Ready for a whistle stop tour?
With over 100 Christmas lighting schemes installed in 2024 we have been out and about visiting a selection of our recent projects. Here’s a closer look at what we have been up to…
Starting off in the North, we visited two installations on very rainy Thursday evening in Derby and Coalville. Coalville’s festive lighting scheme showcases the High Street and nearby landmarks. In the Memorial Square, a bespoke design takes centre stage with RGB colour changing wall-mounted banners, paired with pea lights. It beautifully illuminates the trees around the war memorial and clock tower. Seven lamp post columns, 22 wall mounted Christmas trees, and column lighting adds to the scheme.
Derby Town Centre
Over in Derby, the scheme highlights the city’s vibrant energy focused around the city centre and other shopping streets. The City Council offices have been decorated with column wraps and wall mounted trees. We also decorated a show stopping real Christmas tree next to the ice rink in the Market Square.
Christmas lamp post motifs, wall mounted trees and cross street lighting was also installed in high footfall areas like Sadlergate, The Strand and St. Peter’s Street with St. Werburgh’s Churchyard decorated with pea lights.
Scotland
In Scotland, we visited a brand new display for Dundee City Council. This scheme features an array of Christmas lighting products including cross street decorations, lamp post motifs and a programmable twinkly tree. It really did look spectacular.
In addition, the team also provided a range of festive lighting features and donated a magical Unicorn to the Royal Hospital for Children and Young People in Edinburgh. The scheme supports the Edinburgh Children’s Hospital Charity. The end result, a wonderful outdoor experience for children and their families to spread festive joy.
Heading down south
Heading down south, first stop in London was Motcomb Street where we installed an impressive array of glistening star motifs. We then traveled over to Bond Street where we installed one of the most unique and memorable schemes of 2024, brining a unique brand collaboration to life.
The two large gateways measure 4x10m and weigh in at 350kg each. We also installed four 5m diameter chandeliers at a staggering 750kg each. These were supported by twenty one 30m steel wires. An impressive feat of engineering.
In South Molton Street, a new display of seven beautifully lit trees welcomed shoppers. Continuing on to Bruton Street and Berkeley Square we provided cross street displays and decorated 16 large trees with drop lights.
Along the Strand we provided large scale cross street motifs and Villiers Street boasts nine eye-catching crossings. Outside the Clermont Hotel, we installed a Twinkly tree with bespoke programmed animations for the Festival of Kindness. Nearby, Leicester Square glows with its illuminated trees, creating a festive retreat and the perfect backdrop for the busy Christmas Market.
Ilford Town Centre
We also visited Ilford where we provided lamppost decorations, a walk through cone tree, and the iconic “I Love Ilford” sign. Additional highlights include three large trees and ground features that light up the heart of this community.
Shopping centre chrismas lighting
On the way back we also visited two shopping centres, calling in at Epsom and Fulham. Our shopping centre schemes are incredible. At Epsom, we created a bespoke display that showcased the architecture of the shopping centre with two large doves and light curtains. Voids were decorated with cluster lighting and leaf lighting. At Fulham, we provided 16 free standing Christmas trees, and around 110m of light curtains, hanging decorations and balustrade lighting.
AND THATS A WRAP!
We certainly packed a lot into the whistle stop tour, but we simply couldn’t visit every scheme we deliver! If you would like to find out more about where we work and how we can help you with Christmas or seasonal lighting, please get in touch. It’s not too early to start thinking about Christmas 2025!
