One week to go until Nottingham Light Night

Light night

We?re all looking forward to Light Night returning to Nottingham next week.

You can see more than 30 immersive and interactive light-based installations, performances, and activities after dark, for free, as you explore the city centre on Friday 2 and Saturday 3 February.

The full programme has now been revealed, with highlights including Our Beating Heart at Old Market Square ? a rotating sculpture featuring thousands of mirror fragments ? and a new installation by This is Loop called Geist, at Sneinton Market Square.

There will be a collection of neon lights created by Chila Kumari Burman at Nottingham Castle, plus a six-metre-tall inflatable light sculpture, The World Has Gone Pear Shaped, at Sussex Street.

There are many more events and installations across the city at locations such as Binks Yard, Nottingham Contemporary, Nottingham Central Library, St Mary?s Church, Nottingham Cathedral and Nottingham College Art School.

Light Night visitors can download the free It?s in Nottingham app [ [link removed] ] to plan their visit, or pick up a printed event guide from the Tourism Centre on Smithy Row.

Marking Holocaust Memorial Day

Holocaust memorial day

The Leader of the council, my colleague David Mellen, invited fellow councillors, faith leaders and local partners to the Council House this lunchtime to reflect upon Holocaust Memorial Day, which is tomorrow (Saturday).

It?s important that our city stands together at events such as this, where we show unity and a shared understanding of the world ? this was reiterated by all those who spoke.

The theme this year is the ?Fragility of Freedom? and Freedom is, indeed, fragile. As we see from events around the world, past and present, the freedom to live without persecution and fear can be shattered so quickly.

Court case into Nottingham attacks last summer

It?s a been a really difficult week for the families of the three people killed in Nottingham last summer and also those who were seriously injured in the attacks.

The violence witnessed in June was senseless and shocking to us all. The sorrow was felt not just by the victims? family and friends, but across the whole of Nottingham and the wider country ? and this has been brought into sharp focus again with the court case this week.

Our thoughts will forever remain with the families of Barnaby Webber, Grace O?Malley-Kumar and Ian Coates.

As a city, we will always choose love, compassion and understanding. We were all shaken by this terrible crime, but we stood united in our shared pain, and I want to thank everyone who showed their support and solidarity that week.
