THANK YOU TO EVERYONE WHO SUPPORTED THE 2025 EVENT. WE'LL BE BACK ON 28TH MARCH 2026.

​

Help us to Light Up Hoad. Hundreds of people will line the zig-zag path up the front of Hoad Hill, from Hoad Lane all the way to the Sir John Barrow Monument. No drones please. Children must be accompanied by an adult.

 

Tickets are free of charge. Small donations to help cover costs would be greatly appreciated. Children with tickets will receive a free LED glow stick.

 

There will be an area at the foot of the hill for people with wheelchairs, pushchairs, etc to take part. No dogs on the route please, as they may present a tripping hazard in the dark.

​

Assemble in Ford Park between 6:30pm and 7:15pm. Visit the walled garden, buy a hot drink and a cake, and listen to the live music. Hot takeaway food will be available from The Base. Entry to the hill from Hoad Lane starts at 7:15pm. The River of Light will illuminate at 8pm.

​

The event is organised in collaboration with Ford Park Community Group, Ulverston Resilience Group, and Sir John Barrow (Hoad) Monument Keepers, with assistance from Ulverston Inshore Rescue, Ulverston Town Council, and Ulverston Town Lands.

 

Thanks to Ulverston BID, our main sponsor, and MARL, our lighting sponsor, whose generosity helps considerably towards the costs of organising and running the event.
