This year's Christmas Light Festival in Oxford is set to feature extended reality experiences, crafts sessions, and other "exciting and unusual" events.
The festival, which will run from Friday, November 15, to Sunday, November 17, will include a Victorian Christmas Market on Broad Street and lantern parades around Rose Hill and west Oxford.
Community collaborations with artists will showcase the festival's "diversity and creativity".
Craft sessions will take place at the Winter Lights Festival at Ark-T, and a Light Festival will be held at Pegasus.
Other activities will include Creation Avatar with Dancin’ Oxford and Oxford Contemporary Music, a winter lights family event, and Oxford Lights Crafternoon with Bodleian Libraries.
They will be held in the city centre with Diwali Glow at OVADA, in Rose Hill with Creative Lights Forest Festival, and the West Oxford Light Festival with the West Oxford Pantomime Association.
Festival-goers are encouraged to create their own light displays at home, work, or in their neighbourhoods.
By registering their lights trail on the festival website, participants will have their displays marked on a map, making it easy to locate and visit various attractions.
