Our Challenge

The Norwich Forum is a public building and the eclectic mix of free exhibitions, events, activities, catering, shopping and learning opportunities makes the Forum many things to many people. The Forum wanted to add a dramatic Christmas light display that would enhance the visitor experience during the festive period to assist in making Norwich a premier UK destination.

Neil Sturman of NES Electrical contacted us in the summer to ask for our help to supply commercial grade string lights which he could drape across the ceiling and down the walls of the contemporary building.

Our Response

We worked closely with Neil to advise him on the easiest solution for supporting the lights across the wide distance whilst achieving a curtain of light that was strung closer together than a standard version would be.

We finally delivered 2.5km of warm white strings of lights and top cables at the end of October for Neil to complete the mid November install deadline

The Result

The Norwich Forum Trust were delighted with the curtain lighting and the overall concept which fits in with Norwich’s other Christmas events. The Forum now hosts many new events and Christmas markets under the curtain of light.
