Create your own illuminated sculpture at Gloucester Bright Nights' Twist and Shine installation

Gloucester Bright Nights is back this February 2025, bringing a new landscape of interactive light sculptures to the city to brighten up the long winter evenings.

Twist and Shine, an installation of interactive illuminated sculptures, is coming to Gloucester this February 2025.

Gloucester's Kings Square is set to come alive with light this February 2025, as Bright Nights returns to the city. 

From Thursday 13 February until Wednesday 19 February 2025, Twist and Shine, a landscape of interactive light sculptures from production group Kaleider, is coming to the city centre — with visitors encouraged to bring their own creativity to the installation.

Made out of interconnected prisms that can be twisted into thousands of different shapes, visitors are invited to mould and move the pieces around to create their own sculptures.

People 'of any age' can twist them together with other people, on their own, or simply watch others playing as the landscape of the sculpture changes.

Previous Bright Nights installations have included Light Games, which brought huge illuminated games to Matson; Globoscope, which saw a swathe of glowing orbs appear on Robinswood Hill; Lumino, an illuminated journey through Llanthony Secunda Priory; and Luma, which saw a giant, interactive illuminated snail take up residence at Gloucester Cathedral.

Twist and Shine is free to attend and take part, with varying opening times over the course of the installation which can be found on the Bright Nights Gloucester website.
