Streets of Light

The Streets of Light initiative was first run in Sheffield in 2017, but has since spread all across the UK.

The idea behind it is very simple. 

We seek to bring change & transformation to neighbourhoods & communities through window displays that convey a message of Light, Love & Hope as an alternative to Halloween.

For one week, at the end of October, people create a design for their home, their place of work, a school, a church, a shop….in fact anywhere where there is a window!  

The windows are then lit up every evening, for people to spot and find.

It is that simple!

The only rule is that each display must include one of the key words - Light, Love or Hope - the rest is up to you and your imagination!

The team at Streets of Light make an interactive map of the whole of the UK, as well as local area trail maps, which you can use in your community - so that people can walk round and find all the decorated windows in their area.......each one offering a message of Light, Love or Hope.
