This winter, Here We Glow is transforming Westfield London into a mesmerising light trail experience, running from 23 January to 2 March. This free, family-friendly event features breath-taking light installations designed to illuminate the season and bring joy to visitors.
With dreamlike bubble sculptures of Evanescent by Atelier Sisu and the glowing tesserae of Tessellis by Angelo Bonello, the event is filled with artistry. Visitors can also enjoy the kaleidoscopic colours of Visible Light by Liz West, the playful Anooki figures making their UK debut, and the magical Luminous Canopy lighting up the Southern Terrace.
But while you’re soaking in the enchanting lights at Westfield, why not make a full day of it? Shepherd’s Bush has plenty to offer, and Shepherd’s Bush Market is the perfect place to explore before or after experiencing Here We Glow.
