generates new visual patterns to a
unique soundtrack.

WELCOME TO WINTER LIGHTS 2018
Canary Wharf’s annual celebration of light technology and art, and recent
winner of Best Creative Lighting Event at the 2017 Darc awards, returns
with over 30 cutting edge installations and astounding artworks to
discover. With over 300 bars, shops and restaurants and Canary Wharf’s
magical ice rink in Canada Square Park, a visit to Winter Lights is the
perfect seasonal trip.
Located around the Estate, both indoors and out, free to visit and easy
to access, Winter Lights offers everything from small intimate displays to
impressive interactive artworks you can enter and explore. Mostly made
up of new works and a few returning favourites from previous years, you
can also see the pieces we loved so much that we made them part of the
permanent art collection here at Canary Wharf.
Download a map from canarywharf.com or pick one up when you arrive
to make sure you see all the pieces on your self-guided walk.
