Festive lighting
The BID funds festive lighting with attractive light canopies installed on Broadmead West, on The Horsefair (outside Primark), on Merchant Street North and South. In 2024, the lights will be switched on from 11am-11pm daily from Friday 1 November until the end of the year.
Additionally, there are seasonal tree lights on Union Street and The Horsefair (near Luke and Poundland). These are switched on when the clocks go back in the autumn until they go forward again in the spring.
The lighting scheme across Broadmead utilises LED lighting fixtures and components, which are incredibly energy efficient and have a long lifespan.
Sparkx, the company engaged to work with Broadmead BID to provide and install the lights are also energy conscious and during installation and removal of the lights, low emission vehicles are used.
The tree lights stay installed throughout the year, so we only had to pay a one-off installation charge in 2022 and don’t have any de-rig costs.
