Light Up Festival - National Coal Mining Museum

Join us for performances, dazzling lights, impressive lanterns and a spectacular live projection and soundscape, created by artist Fabric Lenny and musician Nick Lewis with schools and community groups, inspired by the exhibition, ‘Villagers: Sculpting the Community’. Make your own lantern and join in with the unmissable community lantern parade.

Enjoy pop-up activities, getting crafty with our lantern making workshops, brass band and fire artist performances, plus plenty of festive treats!

Throughout the day’s festivities, you’ll be able to enjoy plenty of tasty food and drink, and our Shop will also be stocked with plenty of Christmas gift ideas and treats for all ages.

Don’t forget that Santa returns to Caphouse for his incredible festive experience Santa’s Magic Workshop with lucky visitors.
