Are you coming into town for #IlluminateOldham this Saturday?

The fun begins on Saturday 24 February from 6pm with the annual illuminated Parade from the Oldham Civic Centre to the Old Town Hall.  Here is everything you need to know…

See hundreds of community-made lanterns, galloping horses, flying birds and a giant illuminated octopus that will be sure to light up the High Street.

Look out for illuminated puppets, dancers and drummers from Global Grooves, alongside groups from across Oldham as they create a joyous explosion of colour, music and creativity.

From 6pm until 9pm, explore the 10 light artworks at various locations across the town centre – all you need to do is grab a brochure and follow the trail.

Don’t miss the activities at Gallery Oldham and Oldham Library throughout the night:

Life with the Wave by Interplay National Sensory Theatre: Experience a playful underwater journey in an illuminated dome. Shows at 6:30 and 7:30pm.

There will also be live music from Illuminate Parade Bands and a pop-up cafe where you can grab a bite to eat.

At 8pm, head over to the Old Town Hall as it transforms with vivid projection mapping, music and storytelling to bring the Grade 2 listed building to life with the colours of nature. 

Plus, much more!
