Light Up at The Art House

21 November 2025 - 23 November 2025

Join us 21-23 November as The Art House comes alive after dark as part of Wakefield’s Light Up festival. Across three days, join us for extended evening openings filled with creativity, colour, and celebration for all.

Bring the family for free glow-in-the-dark creative activities in our Light Lab perfect for all ages, drop in to our Print Studio to create a glow in the dark poster and discover our brand-new project The Public Dream by Emma Bolland in our Main Gallery and the festive exhibition, Makers Wonderland – a magical showcase of handcrafted gifts and seasonal treasures by Yorkshire artists and makers.

Our Coffee House will be serving up warming winter drinks, glowing cocktails, and festive treats, creating the perfect spot to relax and soak up the atmosphere. Whether you’re dropping by after work, making a night of it with friends, or exploring the festival with the kids, there’s something for everyone.

A vibrant evening of art, light, and community – free entry, all welcome!
