Nightfall 2025

Stellar Creates presents Nightfall 2025: Larger in Light
Families and friends, come together this winter to experience the extraordinary power of light in Stewart Park, Middlesbrough!

From Friday 28 – Sunday 30 November, Nightfall returns with a spectacular trail of interactive light artworks, live music, storytelling, performance, and magical moments – designed to transform, connect and inspire.

This year, prepare to be amazed as our family friendly event takes over Stewart Park for three evenings; discover tiny rabbits dancing across the ground, towering flowers blooming above your head, and glowing installations that bring the park to life after dark. Wander through a luminous world where shadows stretch, lights soar, and wonder grows larger with every step

Nightfall is a joyful celebration of community and creativity – a chance to pause, reflect and share in the beauty of winter nights together, illuminated by hope, imagination and light.
