Bristol Lights Up for Christmas
Posted by: Admin | 18.12.07
Light Up Bristol 2007 had a dazzlingly spectacular launch on College Green last night when over 1000 people turned out on a freezing cold night to watch the Cathedral and Council House transformed with digital images of Father Christmas, reindeer and snowflakes. Mulled wine and Bath Ales were on hand for people to keep warm as they watched the light show while guests were treated to Glenmorangie cocktails in a VIP tent courtesy of sponsors Moet Hennessy UK and Java Members Club. The party continued at Java until late into the evening.
Both ITV West and BBC Points West televised their news programmes from College Green and today the event is featured on the front page of the Evening Post.
Clare Reddington, Producer for the Watershed said: “This is a chance for the people of Bristol to come together and see the work of some of the most creative design companies in the City. No other City in the UK puts on an event of this kind so once again, Bristol can be proud to say it is the most creative city outside London”.
Huge thanks go to everyone involved – the design companies, the Watershed, the West of England Design Forum, the City Council, the Cathedral, all the volunteers and to all our sponsors. If you weren’t able to visit last night, the event runs every night this week until Friday evening starting at 6.30pm.
