Bridges of Light is fast becoming one of Worcestershire’s most uplifting annual celebrations and local organisations have a chance to sponsor the event.
The festival transforms Worcester’s city centre into a glowing landscape of creativity, imagination and shared experience.
Presented by Severn Arts, this free two‑night event returns on 28–29 October 2026, inviting thousands of residents and visitors to explore high‑quality light installations, interactive artworks and playful street performances that illuminate the city after dark.
For local organisations, the festival offers a rare opportunity to align with something truly special. Last year, Bridges of Light attracted more than 20,000 visitors, generated 21 pieces of press coverage across print, radio and television, and reached over 483,000 people online.
With 24 professional artists, 12 community groups, and overwhelmingly positive audience feedback, 94% of visitors reported positive emotions, the festival has proven its ability to engage, inspire and unite the community on a remarkable scale.
Sponsoring Bridges of Light allows organisations to become part of this growing cultural moment. Whether supporting a specific installation, helping fund community participation, or contributing to the festival’s wider programme, sponsors gain visibility across a diverse and enthusiastic audience. The event’s strong media presence and extensive digital reach offer valuable promotional impact, while the festival’s ethos of creativity and collaboration provides a meaningful platform for organisations wishing to demonstrate their commitment to Worcestershire’s cultural life.
Beyond brand exposure, sponsorship is a chance to help shape an experience that brings joy, wonder and connection to people of all ages. It is an investment not only in the arts, but in the wellbeing and vibrancy of the local community.
