Burrs Country Park | 17th October 2026 | After Dark

 

Get ready for a night like no other as The Sunnywood Project presents LET’S DO LIGHTS! a vibrant, family-friendly celebration of movement, creativity, wellbeing and community, all taking place after dark at Burrs Country Park.

​

Following the success of Sunnywood Fest 2024, we’re bringing people together once again to explore the outdoors, get active and experience Burrs in a completely new way: this time through light, music, storytelling and immersive experiences. It will be an evening of being active together as a family in the most creative way possible.

​

LET’S DO LIGHTS! is designed for all ages and abilities, encouraging people to walk, wheel, cycle, dance and connect in an inclusive and welcoming environment.

Expect glowing trails, immersive installations, music, creativity and unforgettable moments under the stars, including:

​

• Cycle Projection Experience with Illuminos – www.illuminos.co.uk

• Family Silent Disco Hike Adventure

• Rave Fitness Sessions

• Outdoor Storytelling with The League of Curiosity – https://www.leagueofcuriosity.com

• Family Lantern-Making Workshops

• Messy UV Paint Workshops

• Glowing Sound Bathing 

• Illuminated Walking Bus from Bury Town Centre

…and much more!

​

LET’S DO LIGHTS! is all about bringing people together, encouraging active lifestyles and creating joyful shared experiences in nature.

This is more than just an event: it’s a celebration of healthier communities, creativity, inclusion, adventure and enjoying Burrs Country Park after dark.

​

Walk. Wheel. Dance. Create. Connect.
