Battersea Power Station Light Festival 2024 returns
Battersea Power Station's free Light Festival is returning, bigger and brighter, to illuminate the winter evenings this January.
Battersea Power Station's highly anticipated Light Festival is set to return from 25 January - 25 February 2024. This year's event promises an even more interactive experience, featuring seven spectacular light installations from both British and international artists. Among them, three installations will make their UK debut, while two will mark their first appearance in London, creating a vibrant fusion of artistic expression within the iconic power station and along the riverside neighbourhood.
As part of this year's Festival, visitors can engage with immersive installations, such as LightPiano, where sound and light provide a unique sensory experience. Additionally, Lightbattle III invites participants to join a cycling competition within arches of light, with the ultimate winner surrounded by a flood of colourful light.To cater to all audiences, the Light Festival will feature family-friendly workshops, live entertainment, and music throughout its duration. Live performances on the LightPiano installation, 'glow shows' by LED performers, and Silent Discos in Turbine Hall B are set to enhance the festival this year.
The Light Festival serves as an opportunity to discover the many attractions housed within the Power Station, including 140 shops, bars, restaurants, the iconic Lift 109, and The Cinema.
