Bringing #BRISTOLTOGETHER at Christmas 2021 with 24 beautiful lighting projections!

Hi everyone! Holiday season is upon us and we wanted to share one of the jobs we’re part of and really enjoying — lighting up some iconic Bristol buildings this Christmas!

Expect glowing building frontages, Christmas movie quotes and famous song lyrics across the city centre -- from Arnolfini and St George’s to Cabot Circus (incl. King St, Corn St, Broadmead and Bristol Shopping Quarter) to Waitrose on Queen’s road. 

The project is part of the bigger Bristol City Centre BID’s #BRISTOLTOGETHER initiative (we were part of their #LoveBristol campaign earlier this year designing and installing glittering disco balls in Bristol’s streets). This Christmas their festive arts campaign ‘Bristol Adventures’ promotes the recovery of the city, bringing together many wonderful local business to help create a festive trail. 

Now in its second year, Included for this year is Redcliffe and Temple BID, which means even more iconic locations and sites added to the project.

The projections started on November 17th near Park Street and Queens Road with Cabot Circus and Redcliffe sites joined on November 24. Further cheery messages appear on buildings every night up to December 1st when Harbourside and Old City lights go live, full festive lighting stays in place till December 24th, giving Bristolians a chance to take in every one of the 24 sites.

Our busy team of ‘Lighting Elves’ has worked tirelessly to bring this year’s light trail to the life and here are some snaps featuring the beautiful, huge projections! 

Hope you enjoy and if you can, please do come into the City Centre to explore over a mile of festive lightings and perhaps enjoy the areas that you might not usually visit.

Bringing sparkle onto Bristol's streets! #LoveBristol campaign from Bristol City Centre BID.

Our wonderful team worked hard this week (definitely not easy in the extreme temperatures!), installing bespoke street decorations in Bristol’s City Centre as the city continues on its path to recovery. 

We were commissioned to design, produce and install the glittering and fully functional disco balls in Bristol’s streets to mark the last stage of reopening the city’s businesses as part of the #LoveBristol campaign from Bristol City Centre BID.

A giant pink heart was installed on King Street along with huge disco balls on Corn street, St Nicholas street, Harbourside and Frogmore street.

We are very excited here at King Sound to be part of this fantastic project. The last 18 months of restrictions have seen many businesses (including our city’s world renown restaurants, bars, clubs and venues) hit hardest so we share their excitement to be able to re open finally and safely welcome people back. We also fully join in the BID’s campaign message that says lets ’’enjoy the city centre, whilst being respectful of each other and putting safety at the heart of everything we do’’!
