Winter is a season of magic, offering unique opportunities for placemaking and festive lighting to transform spaces. From Christmas markets and family friendly ice rinks to illuminated and immersive lighting trails. Here are a selection of ideas and solutions for winter placemaking that will make a real statement and draw crowds:
Wrap up warm and hit the high street under elegant festoon lighting. Illuminate high streets and pedestrianised areas with sparkling light canopies that connect spaces. We can install festoon and light canopies both indoors and outdoors. If you are looking to create a particular aesthetic, we can supply a range of energy efficient bulbs in every colour to give a warming glow, cool white or more contemporary options such as creative and energetic neon lighting.
To keep things interesting, why not choose dynamic programmable lights that shift colours to create animations tied to winter themes. Our range of lighting products can be programmed to create a unique display.
Lighting trails are a huge opportunity to increase revenue during the winter months.
We can create a bespoke and immersive lighting trail to capture minds and imaginations. What about a walk-through baubles, giant gift boxes and presents for immersive photo opportunities and walk through experiences. These large features can really help you to stand out from the crowd.
What’s your theme? If you are looking for a lighting installation outside of Christmas, we can provide a themed installation. We recently installed a modern geometric animal illumination scheme for a large shopping centre to bridge the gap in between autumn and spring to keep shoppers amazed.
These are so many Christmas events we simply couldn’t list them all! Safe to say that whatever Christmas event you are planning, we can enhance it with placemaking! From creating fully themed and immersive Christmas markets to simple tree decorations to decorate the many Christmas events that pop up every winter across the UK.
We combine our project management expertise and and technical know-how to install some of the best Christmas lighting schemes in the country:
We have been transforming the built environment with stunning architectural lighting for many years. During the winter nights it is often difficult to stand out on the high street and that’s why businesses and BIDs turn to us to illuminate their shop fronts with stunning lighting.
We carefully plan the scheme considering architectural features, high footfall areas and existing shop signage to install a masterpiece of light that will guide customers to your door.
We can also design a programmable scheme to dress the front of your shop or fabricate a unique illuminated feature. If you want to keep things more subtle, we can design an uplighting scheme that will show off your shop like never before
New Years Eve. A well-honed tradition to welcome the arrival of January, celebrated as Hogmanay in Scotland. You can create the ultimate new years’ party from projecting a countdown clock on local landmarks to lining the streets with flags and bunting to welcome the new year in style.
Chinese or Lunar New Year. This is a 15-day festival that begins with the new moon that occurs in January/February depending on the calendar. We can help you design and install festoon lighting, lanterns and decorations that celebrate the occasion.
We recently filled St. Giles’ Cathedral in Edinburgh with over 400 Chinese lanterns to celebrate Lunar New Year. The display attracted thousands of people over a two week activation!
We are uniquely positioned to offer both a creative placemaking and festive lighting solution to seamlessly activate your space in winter. Finally, we can also provide heated event marquees!
