Using light, sound and personal testimony, the work evokes the intensity of a forest fire, offering a powerful reflection on climate change within the Gardens’ natural setting. A specially composed soundtrack deepens the sensory experience, while the accompanying Climate Café invites moments of pause and conversation. Unlike most festival installations, Tipping Point is free but ticketed, with limited availability each evening; advance booking via the Birmingham Light Festival website is recommended. The installation is presented with thanks to Middlemarch, whose support has made it possible to bring the work to the Gardens.
From 12th to 15th February, Birmingham Light Festival returns to illuminate the city’s winter nights and in Edgbaston Village, the experience is intimate, atmospheric and unmistakably stylish.
The festival also marks the launch of a new permanent artwork, Where the Trees Begin, by Birmingham-based mural artist Richard O’Gorman. Inspired by the ancient woodland that once shaped the city’s landscape, the illuminated piece introduces a quieter, more contemplative moment within the urban environment. Selected through an open call to local artists, the work will remain in place long after Birmingham Light Festival concludes on 15th February.
Beyond the artworks, Edgbaston’s programme brings together creativity, wellbeing and indulgence. On Friday 13th February, the Edgbaston Night Market, in association with Birmingham Artisan Markets, invites visitors to explore independent makers and designers along Greenfield Crescent, offering a relaxed way to move between installations.
Evenings from 12th to 15th February are defined by candlelight and considered hospitality. Loki Wine hosts intimate candlelit tastings throughout the festival, creating a warm, romantic counterpoint to the illuminated streets outside. Nearby, The High Field and Chapter add to the after-dark atmosphere with light-themed cocktails and festival exclusives, ideal for lingering between events.
Wellbeing and creativity also feature across the programme, with experiences ranging from Painting in the Dark and illuminated movement sessions to candlelit yoga and live performances, offering visitors a more reflective way to engage with the festival. For those seeking a more restorative moment, Glow and Flow at MK Reformed introduces illuminated reformer Pilates sessions, blending movement, light and calm into a uniquely immersive way to experience the festival.
Balancing striking artworks with moments of pause, indulgence and movement, Edgbaston presents a sophisticated way to experience Birmingham Light Festival from 12th to 15th February where candlelight, cocktails and culture meet after dark.
