AN interactive trail will give visitors the chance to see Basingstoke town centre in a new light this February half term.

Love Basingstoke and Festival Place will present the interactive Let’s Glow light trail which will illuminate Basingstoke town centre throughout half term, following positive feedback on a similar trail last year.

Spanning from Festival Place, through the Top of the Town to War Memorial Park, the trail will see visitors explore projections, a light show, lasers and tree illuminations.

Cabinet member for sports, leisure and culture Cllr Kerry Morrow said: “Back by popular demand, the Let's Glow trail will brighten up the dark February evenings and give people of all ages the chance to see the town centre in a different light.
