Saltburn Valley Gardens will be transformed into a magical Valley of Light. There will be a trail of light artworks and installations created by Stellar Creates and local artists. During the event there will also be storytelling, performances and drop-in craft activities.
Local schools and community groups will work with artists to build lanterns of local landmarks and places important to local people. These lanterns will create the Valley of light installation along with a soundtrack of local voices.
