Illuminight returning to Kilmarnock

Dean Castle and Country Park in Kilmarnock is set to be transformed once again as the 'Illuminight' festival returns.

Last year, nearly 40,000 people turned out for the event which sees the park light up with thousands of LEDs, fire shows and music.

Councillor Elena Whitham, Chair of East Ayrshire Leisure, said: “I am absolutely delighted that this amazing event is returning to East Ayrshire for another year. Last year’s event was incredible, but I am confident that Illuminight 2018 will be even better.

"We learned a lot from the event last year – we have taken on board many suggestions received from the public and these will be reflected in the format, pricing and timings of the event this year.

"The landscaping works in the park are starting to mature and settle, giving more opportunities for new creative displays and light installations and I can’t wait to see what surprises are in store.”

Al Thomson, Director of Unique Events said: ‘Unique are thrilled to be returning to Dean Castle Country Park this October with Illuminight and can’t wait to show audiences what we have in store for this year’s event.

"The response last year was overwhelming and we look forward to welcoming audiences from across Ayrshire, Scotland and beyond to Kilmarnock for an all-new show.

"Illuminight has already established itself on Scotland’s events calendar and this year we will be working with local businesses and new event partners to develop the event into one of the country’s largest illumination attractions"

The event will run between Wednesday 24th October and Sunday 18th November.
