Nottingham light night

Last Friday night was the annual Nottingham light night so we headed off into town straight after work. My man was playing with the Uke Orchestra  from 7-9 so I had a wander round a few of the attractions before meeting up again and heading for the pub.
This year there were not so many buildings lit up and although the castle had a big event on, admission was by ticket only and they had sold out 2 weeks ago ( free entrance but ticket still required)
But I still found plenty to look at......

What fun! A post Christmas lighting event is just brilliant.

We came across last year and enjoyed it but didn't make it this year. I'd heard Light Night was a bit disappointing this year but I think our friends must have been looking in the wrong places. Thanks for giving us a taste of colourful Nottingham Light Night.

Julie.. seemed more subdued this year, previous years have had more lights and the big wheel but I still missed out on things due to lack of time.
Araignee,, A good event to break up the winter gloom!

Janys..thanks, always good to have a wander round and see whoes doing what.. :-)
