Europe’s largest lantern and light festival is returning to Heaton Park this Christmas, just under an hour’s drive from Liverpool.
Returning in November, Lightopia will feature interactive and immersive lights, lanterns, installations and incredible lasers with water-screen multimedia shows. Each year, thousands of fans descend on Heaton Park in Manchester to witness the immersive experience of light along the hidden lantern trail.
The 2021 event featured the Gate of Guardians where shimmering walkways, decorative lights and projections guided the way and thousands of lights illuminating the space with a collection of vibrant colours.
