Workshop Illuminations
Keeping Christmas Sparkly!
While we always take seasonal decoration seriously, we decided to do something a little different for Christmas, and we're staging a US style Christmas light show.
The lights are currently on and looking shiny from 3:30pm every day. We'll be running shows with music every night at 4:30 and again at 6:30, from Monday 15th December until Friday 2nd January inclusive. We're planning to be on right across Christmas Eve, Christmas Day and Boxing Day, so if you fancy a target for a Christmas afternoon walk, we're here. We'll be switching the playlist daily, so there should be fresh material if you fancy a few visits.
We want everyone to be able to enjoy the lights if they want to. If you have concerns or difficulties coming to see the shows, please get in touch. We can help out with any and all concerns related to accessibility, COVID (and reduced immunity), photosensitive conditions, etc. We can also organise for zero-contact viewings. If we can help out, we actively want to. Please drop us a message to this page, or get in touch via email at info@workshopilluminations.co.uk.

Why Are We Doing This?
It's purely for fun - there's no commercial interest here at all. We're just here for the sparkly lights, and the challenge of getting it all going.
We're pleased to announce that this year we're going to be supporting Cranbourne School. Over the last few years they've had RAAC-related roofing issues and the school is about to undergo an extensive rebuild, but refitting an entire school is an expensive business 🙂
If you've enjoyed any of our videos or live shows, please consider making a donation - it really would be appreciated. Our usual Elf will be in charge of the bucket (and candy canes!) at the shows for cash donations, or we can accept contactless payments this year too... Look out for our donation point, or ask on of our team (running things, looking panicked, most likely in a stupid hat) and they'll point you in the right direction. Finally, online via PayPal is still an option. Donations are 100% optional but very gratefully received.
Where Are We?
We're based in Saxon Way, in Lychpit, Basingstoke, RG24 8SA... Once you get into the road, you can't really miss us.
If you're coming to see the lights, please be considerate of our neighbours, and consider parking a short distance away and walking to us - The Lychpit Centre Car Park is a 5 minute walk away, and may be a good place to leave your car.
