HOLD CREATIVE SPACES
Space to connect & create... to express & explore
Welcome to Light Up Ramsgate 2026
We’re back this winter with a trail of light, projection and illuminated artworks that will transform Ramsgate’s streets, shopfronts and hidden corners.
As part of the Ramsgate Winter Festival, Light Up Ramsgate brings together local and international artists to light up the town centre with creativity during the darkest months of the year.
This year we’re guided by the themes of Spark, Gather, Grow– inviting works that surprise, delight and connect us through light. From glowing windows to playful projections, we’ll be building a free, street-level gallery for everyone to explore.
Let’s make Ramsgate shine together
