What to expect
You’re invited to explore Ridley Park, filled with one-of-a-kind sculptures. Stroll past glowing moons and stars and through blooming fire trees. Watch giant lotus flowers breathe fire, and see the moving sculpture 'The Flaming Daisy Chain' light up in a continuous fiery cycle. Don’t miss 'In the Balance', a towering, playful installation where rotating fiery orbs display children’s drawings.
As you wander, you might spot a midnight owl, colorful flying dragons, and the glowing storytelling creature Ghost Caribou. Enjoy the lively sounds of the Northern Monkey Brass Band as you take in the flaming sculptures around you.

Light Up the Night: Lantern Parade
Headway Arts is thrilled to be working with Newsham Primary, Wise Academies and members of the Blyth Culture Network to create 100 beautiful lanterns – each one carrying the hopes, dreams and energy of the local community. Together, these lanterns will light the way towards a brighter future for everyone in the town.
Leading the lantern procession will be two dazzling illuminated figures - The Sun & Sky Spirit and The Wind & Wave Sprite. Designed by Blyth-based artist and Headway Arts Creative Director, Alison Walton-Robson, these figures are inspired by Blyth’s proud position as a world leader in renewable energy and the town’s unbreakable community spirit.
