Winter Light Tours
Join us on a guided tour of the Southbank Centre’s glowing outdoor exhibition trail, with over ten bright and magical works adorning the site.
Get a unique insight into the artworks, the artists that created them and what inspired them with a festive walking tour of each of the pieces.
On Thursday 19 December, the tour is followed by a family friendly activity where you have the opportunity to make your very own Winter Light artwork.
Need to know
The tour on Thursday 19 December is an adapted version for families, and is shorter in length to accommodate an arts and crafts workshop for children at the end.
