Basingstoke lit up for Let's Glow light trail in 13 photos

The interactive trail 'Let's Glow' returned this month after positive feedback on a similar event last year.

Love Basingstoke and Festival Place teamed up to bring the free event for families over the February half term.

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

“The illuminations and projections will be an experience not to be missed. I would like to thank Festival Place and Zeal Productions who have worked closely with us to create this special trail for the whole family to enjoy.”
