More than 6,000 people visited Mansfield’s second Light Night, a three-day immersive light and sound event in Carr Bank Park.

This year’s event featured an extended trail, with the park’s bandstand as a focal point of walkabout entertainment and street food.

Themed Light Night zones included a shimmering fairy wonderland, woodland animals in an enchanted forest, vibrant illuminated arches and kaleidoscopic lights, and dancing in a carnival discoland.

The Light Night trail passed live performances from the Nottinghamshire Samba Collective, face painting, walkabout entertainers, and a silent disco.

There was also an art exhibition in the park’s Victorian greenhouse by Mansfield Museum’s Green Power group.

Mansfield mayor Andy Abrahams said: “We are thrilled this outstanding event drew people from a wide area. It was a fabulous family experience.”

This year’s Light Night was supported by Mansfield’s Towns Fund allocation from the Government, as part of a series of initiatives designed to position Mansfield as a destination, along with the paid entry tickets.

Partners in the event were: Mansfield Cultural Services, Mansfield BID and Cheeky Monkey Enterprises. Sponsors were: Matthews and Tannert, Inspire Culture and Trent Barton, along with eight shows being held at Mansfield Palace Theatre this year.
