The Light Festival 2025

The Light Festival is back, brighter and more interactive than ever, illuminating winter nights from 23rd January to 23rd February 2025.

This free interactive art trail features eight must-see light installations by British and international artists, with all of them either making their UK or London debut. Shining both inside and outside the Power Station from 8am to 11pm daily, many installations go beyond the visual, incorporating soundscapes and interactive elements that respond to movement and more.
