We also developed a unique architectural façade lighting scheme that framed the Town Hall, providing a beautiful backdrop to the market square.

Installation 

Our in-house installation team worked through the night for 13 nights to complete the installation. The scheme was snagged and handed over to the client two nights ahead of the formal activation. During the activation period, we provided a regular check on the scheme and a responsive call out process. Effective project management was crucial, our team worked with multiple stakeholders including retail site managers, shop owners and high street rangers during the installation to keep disruption to a minimum.

Lion Walk, Colchester

  • Shopping Centres

Winter

The Brief

Our festive lighting team have been hard at work on their latest installation at Lion Walk Shopping Centre in Colchester. A wide range of lighting pieces transformed the shopping space into a dazzling celebration of the holiday season. Collaboration was a cornerstone of the project’s success. The team maintained constant communication with the Centre Manager, fostering a strong partnership that ensured the provision of essential on-site facilities and logistical support. Daily updates to the client played a pivotal role in addressing minor issues promptly and adjusting the installation schedule to accommodate concurrent onsite activities.

The Specification

The Solution

Beyond its visual appeal, the installation incorporated  sustainability considerations that contributed to a positive environmental and community impact. Choosing overnight  stays in Colchester not only reduced travel emissions but also allowed for more efficient working hours, speeding up the
installation process for our client.

The decision to purchase consumables locally not only minimised the carbon footprint but also enabled us to invest in the local Colchester economy through hotel stays,  consumable items, and meals. Moreover, the displays are made up of up to 50% recycled material! Our careful planning looks at all aspects of the delivery to ensure we reduce our footprint as much as possible while supporting the local economy. This demonstrates a commitment to environmental responsibility, aligning the project with Field & Lawn’s broader sustainability goals.

Installing any display in a shopping centre requires specific attention to detail. With visitors being able to interact much more closely with the festive lighting than any normal display, every fitting must be perfect to ensure that the displays look as impressive as possible. Pre-installation site visits proved invaluable in identifying necessary fittings that would be required. This enabled the team to remove the standard 13 amp plugs in each piece and pre-fit the required 16 amp plugs at the depot. This  streamlined the on-site installation process. Having a proactive approach not only saved a considerable amount of time but also ensured a smoother execution.

City & Town CentresHigh StreetsPublic Realm

A beautiful, bright and fresh festive lighting scheme for Ilford! The scheme was a huge hit online and in-person with great photo opportunities.

The Brief

Ilford required a festive transformation to bring the festive spirit to the town centre. Our client Ilford Business Improvement District, came to Field & Lawn looking for an enchanting lighting display that would brighten the town and create a warm, inviting atmosphere for residents and visitors. The scheme needed to include decorative lighting for trees and lamp posts, as well as a large Christmas tree to serve as the centre of the display.

The Solution

To meet the client’s vision, Field & Lawn designed and installed a comprehensive festive lighting scheme tailored to the town’s needs. To bring a dynamic visual appeal to the streets, 10m meteor wraps were installed onto 11 lamp posts. Additionally, 50 lamp posts were decorated with 2-metre high decorative features, ensuring that the entire town was beautifully lit up for the season.

13 trees were wrapped with delicate pea lights, adding a magical twinkle to Ilford’s landscape. These lights enhanced the natural beauty of the trees providing a gentle glow that made the town centre more inviting during the darker winter evenings.

As a centrepiece, an 8-metre high, pre-decorated walk-through cone tree was installed, allowing visitors to experience and interact with the Christmas lighting display. This feature became a focal point of the town, drawing in families and creating a perfect backdrop for holiday photos.
To further elevate the festive décor, three impressive 5.3-metre ground features were placed at key locations around Ilford. These eye-catching features complemented the overhead lighting and created a cohesive and immersive Christmas display.

One of the standout features of the project was the bespoke, 3D ground feature, “I ♥ Ilford” sign, which was custom-designed and manufactured specifically for this installation. This unique feature not only added a personal touch to the display but also encouraged community engagement, becoming an eye-catching selfie spot!

The Brief

Due to public realm works in Marlborough square Northwest Leicestershire District Council were unable to put up decorations over the last few years. Now the works have been completed they turned to Field & Lawn to enhance their existing scheme and spread Christmas cheer across Coalville.

The client wanted to focus on bespoke designs, strategic placement, and cohesive themes across multiple locations. All decorated locations were accessible from the high street, allowing visitors to enjoy the installations across Coalville. A mix of products was developed, including:

The team worked alongside the client to design and manufacture four bespoke RGB colour changing wall mounted banners to the central clock tower. Each banner was split into 2 pieces measuring 1.2 x 3m.

In the newly accessible Marlborough square, 22 artificial wall-mounted Christmas trees were supplied. Planning the scheme in Marlborough Square meant installing a large range of decorations within a small area, which created a breathtaking festive scene. Field & Lawn installed 210m of festoon lights and 750m of pea lights in 17 trees along the high street and in memorial square. Creating a warm and inviting environment for shoppers and visitors. The installation of additional column motifs brightened Ashby Road and Hotel street, offering a festive transition for vehicles and pedestrians.
