Bolsover Castle 

SUITABLE FOR

Everyone

This November, Bolsover Castle will once again shine as Bright Winter Nights returns for two unforgettable evenings of light, sound and creativity on Thursday 27 and Friday 28 November.

Brought to you by Junction Arts, this sell-out event has become a highlight of the winter calendar. Each year, the town’s iconic landmark is transformed into a glowing canvas, alive with large-scale projections, immersive soundscapes and interactive digital artworks.

For 2025, the theme is “Hear My Voice” – with every artwork co-created alongside young people from Bolsover and the surrounding area. Together, they’ll bring new perspectives, fresh ideas and powerful stories to life on the castle walls.

There is also a 4.30pm slot available aimed at those who prefer it to be less busy, and with less people around.

Don’t miss this spectacular two-night event. Gather your friends and family, wrap up warm, and see Bolsover Castle like never before.
