Light the South

About

Over the summer of 2024, Southampton Hospitals Charity will be lighting up the south with a large-scale Wild in Art public art event that promises to captivate your senses and ignite your imagination.

There will be 40 8-foot-tall, magnificent lighthouse sculptures on display through the streets and public spaces of Southampton and Cowes, each one a unique masterpiece designed by artists both local and well renowned, plus 40 mini lighthouses designed by local education groups, creating a family-friendly trail of discovery for visitors and residents to enjoy and explore.

The lighthouses will then be displayed together for a farewell event in September 2024 which will be a chance to see all the lighthouses gathered in one place, a truly unique sight. The sculptures will then go to auction to raise vital funds for Southampton Children’s Hospital.

The event is presented by Southampton Hospitals Charity in partnership with Wild in Art, the leading producer nationally and globally of spectacular art events.
