Giant inflatable multi-coloured bubbles have invaded Victoria Square as week two of Bolton’s Put Big Light On Festival gets underway. After the success of last weekend’s centrepiece installation Borealis, a northern lights recreation above the town hall which attracted thousands of visitors, the main attraction currently is Evanescent.
The piece is a multi-award-winning artwork that has been exhibited in 24 different cities in 18 different countries with people able to walk under the bubbles and experience the changing colours and associated soundscape. Alongside Evanescent, at various locations across the town centre, there are installations such as Our Spectral Vision, Aqualux, Peep Hole Wall and Sound Intervention Projector Bikes will be ready to wow visitors.
Museum of the Moon by Luke Jerram is still around until until Thursday, December 21 in the library and museum. This week, the giant moon has also been used as a backdrop for community events with a toddler group crawling under the installation and a yoga class taking place with a lunar participant.

Week two started on Thursday and runs until Saturday, December 9 from 4pm-10pm. Food stalls will be open until 10pm and the Albert Bar will be open until 10pm.
Bolton Council leader Nick Peel said the festival so far had ‘exceeded expectations’ of many visitors and showed why Bolton had a track record of hosting large events such as the food and drink festival and the annual Ironman event.
