The Lighting dates will normally be the only pre-set commemoration or campaign days with which we align our lighting schemes. We may agree to periodic responsive lighting changes, however these are expected to be limited as they would only happen in response to a major event/incident, which has a profound impact on the general public.
Please note that we will consider lighting requests from members of the public, community groups, charities etc. Please complete a request form and email it to our Events Team: [email protected]. These requests will only be reviewed for the following year's programme and due to the number of requests received we cannot guarantee that requests will be approved.
