Battersea Power Station Light Festival Returns This January to March

Battersea Power Station has been one of the most exciting developments to open in the past year and we’re pleased to announce their annual light show is returning. The Battersea Power Station light festival has been a regular fixture to brighten up our new year for the past three years and is returning on the 19th January.

Running from January 19th to March 5th, expect eight breathtaking pieces of artwork, curated in partnership with Light Art Collection on display both inside and outside of the grade II listed building. Completely free to enter, you can enjoy enjoy light installations from artists such as Atelier Haute Cuisine who have enlarged and illuminated an everyday object, a bath plug, to encourage people to consider the importance of clean water, society’s consumption and reducing how much water is wasted ‘going down the drain’.

Another artist enlarging objects is UK based Studio Vertigo, using the nostalgic toy Slinky with the intention to see a city in a new playful way. Returning to the Power Station for the third year is the popular Eternal Sundown by Mads Vegas, using 140 energy- saving LED tubes to create a post-apocalyptic sunset along The Coaling Jetty with the iconic Battersea Power Station as a backdrop.

There is also Vagabond Wines, Battersea Brewery and Birdies if you fancy a glass of wine, beer or round of golf!

Kate Boothman-Meier, Head of Marketing at Battersea Power Station Development
Company (BPSDC), said:
“Seeing our annual Light Festival return for a third year, bigger and brighter than before after such a successful 2022 is fantastic, with the majority of installations making their London or UK debut. It will also be the first-time hosting some pieces inside the iconic Power Station’s Turbine Halls since it opened last October for people to discover and marvel at during their visit.”
“We look forward to starting the new year bringing together some of the most innovative light
artists for a bright and bold Light Festival that has something for all to enjoy.”
