Walsall Illuminations

 

Gates open daily at 7pm

The Walsall lights have been an annual event since 1951, inspired by much earlier

illuminations – as long ago as 1875 the park was lit by candles in glass jars, and fairy lights were introduce in 1892.  Alongside this year's special lights, illuminations and laser shows, there will be children's rides, attractions and live entertainment.
