TREES, an outdoor nature-inspired light display featuring glowing life-size tree stumps, twinkling light projections and mystical, immersive sound effects has been announced.

The free, mesmerising event will feature in two locations across two nights this week. On Friday, February 7, TREES will arrive at Murphy Close in Worsley Mesnes, transforming it into a glowing wonderland from 4:30pm-7:30pm. The following evening, on Saturday, February 8, you can find it at Bedford St in Whelley, lighting up the dark from 4:30pm-7:30pm.

Things That Go On Things (part of the team behind Light Night Wigan) have created TREES as a way of telling the tales of nature through illuminated installations and digital technology, whilst celebrating the space that’s already present right here on our doorstep.

Adding to the light display, the first 200 people to arrive on each night will receive a free hot drink and sweet treat from local vendors The Gindependent and That Secret Ingredient. There will also be a range of activities to get involved with, including family-friendly clay workshops from Give it a Grow Wigan, storytelling from poet Louise Fazackerly, and even fire performances from Juggling Inferno.
