Explore - week long free activities, family friendly engagement and participation with fun and exciting sessions discovering the art of science
In conjunction with artists, creative technologists and arts companies, a range of researchers and scientists from Lancaster University, Explore will reveal fascinating insights and learning about light, art and science. The week will feed directly into Light Up Lancaster itself with the learning – and some development projects – pivotal to how artworks at the festival are created and the rationale for the theme of the 2024 renewal being The Art of Science. Explore will be based in The Storey, Lancaster and will have a comprehensive schedule of FREE enriching, lively, hands-on activities combining arts and science during half-term, October 21st to October 25. The project will provide an opportunity for self-expression and exploration, helping participants to understand the wider world around them.
What we'll deliver:
Why it's a great idea:
We believe that participation in structured, high quality creative activity can change peoples’ lives for the better. The project will provide an opportunity for self-expression and exploration, helping participants to understand the wider world around them. The workshops and activities will be a two-way exchange between artists delivering and the participants, feeding both with creative ideas and sparking new learning and skills development. It will be inspiring, motivating and rewarding. Some of the participants will also be helping to create a beautiful piece of work with a ‘wow’ factor for Light Up Lancaster itself and they will take a great deal of pride in their achievements.
Steps to get it done:
Explore will be a new, key component of Light Up Lancaster (attended by 72,000 people in 2023) as it will be umbilically linked to the festival itself.

VolunteerMIRADOR
Mirador is a charity which celebrates and is inspired by people discovering how magical it is when arts, heritage and culture converge.
Based in Lancashire, we are a highly experienced team that blends its expertise and know how to originate, research, develop and deliver fascinating and rewarding heritage projects that matter to communities.
We are guided by some basic principles and approaches:
Our starting point is helping connect people, in a rewarding, tangible and enjoyable way, with their location, heritage and history. Our role as creative producers is to ensure that all engagement and participation becomes a rich celebration of people’s memories, their cultural traditions and communities, their collections and their localities as well as the monuments to the past such as buildings and landscapes.
We do this by ensuring the ‘journey through time’ provides people of all ages with absorbing, enjoyable, aspirational and challenging opportunities to test, try, train and develop their ideas in connection with their local heritage. And what makes our approach to achieving this so distinctive is that arts and creativity provide the magic to fire the imagination and help stimulate unique results.
Our proposition is to deliver a creative learning journey for all to help all participants discover and celebrate their heritage and the heritage of where they live.
At the conclusion of the extensive engagement programme, all the work/material created is distilled into an enchanting and wondrous celebration or event as part of a journey in animated heritage. In this way, we help people create a magical and memorable experience.
