No. Experiences take place across the city so you can walk around Lincoln at your own pace. Some installations are ticketed and will need to be pre-booked online. The link to ticketed events can be found in the programme information.

We have tried to make all experiences as accessible as possible. Full guide to all events will be available in early 2026.  For general access information about the city itself click here: https://www.visitlincoln.com/plan-your-visit/accessibility-information/

Most events are family friendly. However, some events will require parental consideration.

Of course. If you have a collar that lights up even better!

Lincoln has several car parks. You can find details here

As part of our commitment to supporting local businesses we are encouraging city food and drink businesses to stay open rather than supporting non-local vendors. Some of these may set up pop-up eateries.

Yes, many of the attractions will feature flashing lights.

We recommend allowing an hour to walk the festival trail. But some attractions are interactive and may require more time. We suggest you come along for the afternoon/evening and enjoy everything Lincoln has to offer at your own pace.

While we don’t mind getting a bit soggy (rain has never dampened our enthusiasm or that of the visitors) we always put safety first. In the event of adverse conditions that will impact public safety we will make the right call and will inform visitors as best we can ahead of time via our website and social platforms.

It is easy to spend a day or two in Lincoln – there is so much to see and do. Given the light-based nature of the festival we recommend you stay around until it gets dark – around 4.30pm.
