Bristol Light Festival is back from Friday 31st January to Sunday 9th February, 5pm-10pm, illuminating the city with breathtaking installations. This year, Cabot Circus is home to one of the festival’s most immersive experiences—Anthems: Volume One at Quakers Friars.
Created by artist Marcus Lyall in collaboration with RUN Collective, this laser-powered spectacle is a love letter to Bristol’s legendary Drum & Bass scene. With choreographed laser animations and a high-energy soundtrack compiled by RUN Collective, this installation transforms an empty shop near Cabot Circus into a multi-sensory celebration of music and light.
