WORCESTER'S annual illumination of colour and light is set to make the city centre a jaw-dropping scene for its fourth year.

Light Night Worcester is returning on Wednesday, February 22 and Thursday, February 23, and the Arches Worcester Festivals team has launched the official program for the event.

Across the two days, the free festival will host a range of creative, interactive work and walkabout street performances. 

On both nights, visitors will be able to see the following:
 

Strobilophones by Picto Facto – 7.30pm to 8.30pm

Inflatable puppets, dancers and singers will engage audiences around the High Street and other city streets.
