A NEW sound and visual arts festival is set to light up Bury this weekend.

Enlighten Bury will take place on Friday and Saturday night across a number of town centre locations.

The event is a joint project between arts producers Curated Place and Bury Art Museum and Sculpture Centre, and aims to reinvent the experience of Light Night into a high quality public art installation trail alongside an international music programme.

An array of award-winning interactive light and sound installations will bring the streets, venues, galleries and bars of the town centre to life.

There will be visual arts interactives from BAFTA-winning Seb Lee-Delise, whose Lightning Catchers is a large scale laser-projected interactive game for 2 to 10 players where the aim of the game is to catch as much lightning as you can on the tower of Bury Parish Church tower.

Also on display at the festival will be work from Felix Thorn, Paul Friedlander, The Owl Project and Stanza, as well as music and performances from Hannah Peel, Wrangler, Plaid, Sykur, Orka and more.

A light walk, The Met performances, and more than 20 installations are free, while music concerts in the Transport Museum and Parish Church are ticketed.

Tickets are priced between £16.75 and ,£66.25 and are available on www.enlightenbury.co.uk.

Curated Place recently won 2016 Scottish Festival of the Year for the SPECTRA festival in Aberdeen, and this year delivered the critically acclaimed “John Grant’s North Atlantic Flux” for Hull 2017 UK City of Culture.
