THE ART OF Science
MAGICAL NIGHT MARKET
THURSDAY 7 - SATURDAY 9 NOVEMBER 5pm-10pm
HUB
LANCASTER CITY CENTRE
THURSDAY 7 - SATURDAY 9 NOVEMBER
Light Up Lancaster invites audiences to explore this magical light-art trail throughout the city, discovering enchanting light-artworks and captivating installations in Lancaster’s streets and squares.
MARKET SQUARE This year Lancaster Market Square will be alive with local street food stalls offering a wide range of hot food, cakes and drinks. Grab something to eat and drink from the stalls or surrounding shops, sit in a beautifully lit dining space and enjoy live music from local musicians throughout the night.
This year’s theme is The Art of Science, playfully exploring how art and science can be ‘creative twins’. From electron microscopes to a photograph of a black hole taken from a ‘virtual telescope’, science and art are often linked through the visual world. This year festival artists have been having fun reflecting on how science can produce art, how art can shape science and, sometimes how it can be difficult to tell the two apart!
This street food market will celebrate the best on offer locally with a focus on supporting small, independent street traders. Many of these traders use locally produced food and are passionate about having a positive impact on the local community and the environment.
Everything is FREE to view and perfect for all the family, plus all the artworks and installations will all be running on each of the Thursday, Friday and Saturday evenings from 5pm to 10pm, giving you longer to explore!
The market is hosted by FoodFutures: North Lancashire’s Sustainable Food Network as part of their Closing Loops project. Closing Loops aims to create a thriving regenerative economy in North Lancashire - an economy which puts wellbeing of people and the environment at its heart.
Plus there will be a tempting food market in Market Square, curated by Food Futures – the perfect opportunity to visit the festival after school or work and grab a bite to eat before exploring.
