Dover Winter Light Up (NEW DATE)
NEW DATE 8th February 2025
Dover Town Council and Future Foundry are sad to announce that Dover’s Winter Light Up will be postponed due to Storm Darragh forecast to reach Dover this weekend. All festivities, activities and the lantern procession which were to be taking place on Saturday 7th of December are on hold until February 8th 2025.
We have been very lucky over the past 4 years to have had perfect conditions for Dover’s Winter Light Up. However with 60mph gusts predicted on Saturday, it will not be possible to run the event safely.
The great news is that Dover’s Winter Light Up has been rescheduled for Saturday the 8th of February. It will be a festival of light when we need it most – at the end of winter just before the first signs of spring. We will be offering all the enchanting activities we had planned for this weekend, with circus performances, cabaret, music, rides, markets, workshops and Future Foundry’s magical lantern procession – all just in time for the start of spring.
In the meantime stay safe during Storm Darragh and we wish you a wonderful festive, winter season.

Pencester Gardens, Dover
Familier fra Dover og videre er inviteret til en magisk fest på Dover Winter Light Up 2024, finder sted i Pencester Gardens. Medarrangør af Dover Town Council og Future Foundry, årets begivenhed lover en spændende blanding af lysdisplays, gratis aktiviteter, og underholdning for alle aldre.
Aftenunderholdning og Lanterneoptog (GRATIS):
Begivenhedens højdepunkt er lanterneoptog, ledet af Future Foundry, med stjernelanterner og storstilet design inspireret af Kents dyreliv, skabt af både lokale kunstnere og skolebørn. Besøgende kan også nyde at blænde brandhandlinger, LED-ydelser, glød-i-mørke-shows, og en tur på den fortryllende simulator med Snemanden.
I Market Square, beundre det smukt dekorerede juletræ, sat mod Dover Castles ikoniske kulisse, og den oplyste hjorte i Maison Dieu House. Fra klokken 15.00, Pencester Gardens vil være vært for festlige markeder med unikke kreationer af lokale producenter, kunstnere, Forge Art Club og selvstændige virksomheder. Gå ikke glip af 69MCC Clubs dekorerede cykeludstilling også i Pencester Gardens.
Når natten falder på, følg Lanternesti, som snor sig gennem Pencester Gardens, Cannon Street, og Biggin Street. Stien byder på mytiske væsner (Guds hus), Kent dyreliv (originale arrangørers design), og Sea Life mini-lanterner bestilt gennem UK Shared Prosperity Fund. Local businesses are joining the fun by lighting up their shopfronts, adding to the festive glow of the town’s winter lights, provided by Dover Town Council.
