A HUGE festival that is completely free to visit will land in the UK next month.
Bristol Light Festival will return to Bristol for 10 nights next month, between February 19 and 28.
One of the headline events recently announced will be an installation called The Lite Series.
Visitors will be able to see a number of illuminated hot air balloons gathered by Cameron Balloons, which when fired will create a burst of colour in the balloon.
The more people who fire the hot air balloons, the brighter they get and more sound plays from them.
Jess Siggers, marketing manager at Cameron Balloons, said: “Bristol’s skyline has been shaped by our balloons for generations, so we’re thrilled to bring that heritage back down to earth in an entirely new way for Bristol Light Festival.

“The Lite Series invites everyone to feel the magic of ballooning up close.
“It’s playful, it’s interactive and above all, it celebrates the engineering and imagination that Bristol is famous for.”
Another exhibit at the festival will be an installation by artist Liz West, who will transform Cabot Circus’ multi-storey car park into a light show.
The entire festival will sprawl across the city and will host a number of events for the public to get involved in.
Other details about the festival will be announced in the coming weeks but in previous years activities and events have included a Neon Kids Rave.
The rave was free of charge and kids even ate for free.
Other family-friendly activities have included art clubs as well.
It isn’t just about families though, as there are plenty of adult activities on as well such as paint in the dark, dine in the dark and run club events.
And there are usually photography and walking tours.
A number of venues around the city usually have offers too, such as cheap drinks.
Last year’s festival brought in £11million to the city, with visitors spending £9.4million across the event.
Many people have taken to social media to express their excitement for the festival.
One person commented: “We’re coming up from Cornwall again for the festival ! Can’t wait was brilliant last year !”
Another added: “I can’t wait to return to epic Bristol.”
A third person said: “One of the highlights of Winter – can’t wait to see what spectacular light you’ll be bringing to the darker months!”
If you are looking for somewhere to stay in the city, there is a spa hotel with an award-winning restaurant and salt sauna.
Or you could head to another hotel with a sauna, that is opposite the historic railway station.
And for inspiration on what to do when you are there, the city has street art tours, 19th century hotels and ‘top-notch’ cuisine.
