Barnsley Market & Brighter Nights

Barnsley Market & Brighter Nights

 

Barnsley Bright Nights returns for its ninth year on Friday 20 and Saturday 21 November 2026, bringing spectacular light installations, live performances and a magical festive atmosphere to Barnsley town centre.

 

At The Glass Works Square, visitors can experience The Twelve Days of Christmas, a larger-than-life projection installation created by Illuminos.

Inspired by the much-loved Christmas carol The Twelve Days of Christmas, this playful and immersive artwork transforms giant gift boxes into a spinning visual spectacle. Watch as geese, swans, gold rings and other festive surprises tumble from one present to the next in a mesmerising display inspired by the motion of a giant zoetrope.

The festive fun doesn’t stop there. Look out for colourful pop-up performances from Global Grooves and local community groups, bringing the Twelve Days of Christmas to life throughout the evening.

 

The Twelve Days of Christmas has been co-commissioned by Barnsley Bright Nights and Light Up Wakefield.
