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

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.
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!
