Light Up Leigh
Current Projects
Light Up Leigh is our creative winter event that brings joy, hope, and light to Leigh town centre during the darkest time of the year. Through performance, projection, and a festive, magical parade, our community celebrates what is possible when we come together. From bold installations to lantern processions, Light Up Leigh spotlights local talent and youth-led imagination.
Light Up Leigh is produced by Down to Earth, Wigan’s Creative People and Places programme, in partnership with Spirix and Wigan Council. It is funded by Arts Council England and UKSPF.
This is Leigh, lit up by the community and people that live here.

Lets Collaborate
Spirix projects come from the community and the strong relationships we’ve built over the years. If you’re a school, community group, artist or funder and want to get involved, we would love to talk with you.
Let’s start something new, together.
