Illuminating Ilford at Christmas

High Streets

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!

High Streets

Field and Lawn undertook the installation of bespoke festive lighting across key locations including Memorial Square, Marlborough Square, High Street, Ashby Road, and Belvoir Road, each featuring unique and tailored lighting designs.

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:

4 RGB Colour changing wall mounted banners (6m x 1.2m)
23 Lamp post column motifs
17 real Christmas trees
22 Artificial wall mounted trees
210m Festoon lighting
750m Pea lights
10 Boa lamp post wraps
2 Dressed Christmas trees

The Solution

Over the past few years the council have upgraded their scheme purchasing new decorations including Christmas trees, motifs and mounted banners, theming areas of the town centre by selecting complimentary colour schemes in key locations. 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.

We have worked with Field & Lawn for many years, during this time they have installed, stored and maintained our Christmas lights stock professionally and to a high standard, the service we receive is excellent and tailored to our needs. Field & Lawn have worked with us to improve and develop our lighting offer, giving creative solutions to our bespoke product requirements and affordable, low maintenance solutions for standard items. They are a great team to work with.

Meanwhile, Sadler Gate was illuminated with 34 wall-mounted Christmas trees, casting a warm glow and drawing more visitors to Derby’s Cathedral Quarter. These were installed as a priority to ensure a festive atmosphere for a special shopping night ahead of the grand switch-on.

An avenue of ten real trees were dressed in 70m of alternating warm white and bright white string festoon lights, alongside a towering 45-foot Christmas tree wrapped in 1,000 metres of string lights, blending bright white twinkles with warm white tones for a dazzling effect. High-density lighting was used to maximise visual impact.

The LED columns were refurbished by our skilled team. 12 cone trees lined the side of the building, featuring the latest energy-saving LED technology for sustainability. This attention to detail created a breathtaking display that gave this landmark a true wow factor.
