Competition 2022

Sound installations are created to provide atmosphere to the light installations and are therefore contained within these specific areas. There is no other noise pollution apart from the natural sound levels created by the audiences as they walk through the trail. We are also mindful of our neighbours who live in the immediate vicinity.

The Light Up Trail has been designed by experienced lighting and event designers who are not only very experienced but have also developed ways of working in a range of outdoor landscape settings. We want to encourage visitors to reconnect with nature and the natural environment. The best visual work is sensitive to light pollution and we aim to take advantage of the darkness to reduce the overall brightness of our installations. We encourage audiences to adjust to the darkness as they walk through the trail. We try to avoid continuous lighting of trails and paths and will only use audience lighting where it is necessary to do so and to comply with Health and Safety regulations. The LED lighting products we use on the trail are 90% more efficient than traditional bulbs, enabling us to use as little energy as possible. The equipment has been installed using professionally recommended methods and the installations are curated to integrate within the site. We do not foresee any adverse effect on wildlife, and we also consider future generations.

All tickets must be pre-purchased online in advance of the event to avoid disappointment.
